When the bees go marching in. Hidden Meadow 2024-04-27 - Adventures in Beekeeping

Found swarm on my swarm box at the Hidden Meadow. They seemed to not actually be going into the swarm box but were just bivouacking there. I opened the lid thinking they would go in. I did not see much movement so decided to go ahead and put them into a 10 frame deep hive. I shook some of the bees into the hive and some of them on to a board in front of the hive. When the bees on the front of the hive got the message, they started marching in.
