Greensboro swarms

I got home from Beez Needz at 1:00 today to find two of my home hives in the process of swarming at the exact same time (despite all my efforts). Interestingly enough, the two swarms merged and landed on the neighbor's exact same bush about 6' off the ground. We shook them into a hive, about half flew back into the bush, we moved the first hive out of the way, put down a second hive, shook the bees back down, and it actually appears that we collected the two swarms separately and my buddy now has two new colonies and saved me from having to split them!
