    I reached out to the guy who left the swarm trap and had him meet me at my house. I brought his swarm trap with me and we transferred those bees from my vac to his trap that evening.

    Looks like a good candidate to set up a couple swarm traps every March. Help even the score with Mr Ed!

    I've been thinking about starting my own bee keeping, so I went to a bee keeper to get 12 bees, but he gave me 13. I asked why 13 he said, "The last one is a freebee" 😅😅😅.

    Good grief, I started a new channel and had such a hard time finding you again! YAY! Can't wait to watch your videos again! Beautiful bees you found there! I learn so much from your videos, so thank you! I only have one hive, and hope to get bees back into it next year. I had back surgery last November and doc said no to lifting the heavy part of my cathedral hive off until next year! So glad I get to watch your videos again! Happy Bee Season and Summer to you and your family!

    I see you are using a different bee vac. Was this swarm too big for the battery operated one? Nice swarm.Bees are swarming early here in Missouri. I have run out of regular hive bodies. For now I have set up a double deep nuc box. I don't want to expand apiary but in a pinch I may have to use three medium supers on a bottom board and a cover.

    I agree, this was a very large swarm, and as it was about 10 times the size of one of your normal swarms you catch over there, I'm going to let you count it as 10 singles in our swarm competition. Of course, Jennifer did find it and let you get credit for it. I guess I better get busy and catch more swarms, I can't let you get to far ahead of me. God's peace brother.
