Newbee first swarm
Posted: Sat Mar 30, 2013 4:47 pm
Started with 2 hives last spring, lost one over winter, the other looked strong this spring. Planned to take a stab at splitting but worried that it was too cold. Thought I'd do it this weekend, but the bees beat me to it.
Started swarming about 11:00 am. Clustered in a cedar about 30 feet from original hive. Put them in an empty hive, seem to have accepted the new home.
Big day for the newbees!
