That was the 2nd biggest swarm I've seen and I have watched well over 100. 628DirtRooster still holds the biggest I found. You guys had me in knots not putting boxes on immediately, I was sure they were going to take off once they measured and spread the word. Nice catch...
@@hakirby I have never personally experienced this. I have however heard of beekeepers having mother and daughter queens run with no issue. We have found multiple virgin queens in swarms, often bees will be balling the “extra” queens they don’t want.
Massive!

Now that is a monster!!! 😮😮😮
😲Nice😁
Find a good stiff feather to brush with. The bee's hate the brush.
do hives ever run with more than one queen with no aggression between them?
