First Day of Spring, First Swarm of the Season - Honey Bees relocated from a branch in Texas

While talking to my friend Michelle ‪@burstingbees3618‬ on the way home, she recruited me for her first swarm call of 2023. We scoop up a nice little swarm in Denton, TX on the first full day of spring.
We capture a very docile swarm of honey bees by taking the entire branch that they are resting on. Its spring, swarm season is upon us.

Ahh I can't wait for swarm season here. Love that season

[@honeybeesunlimited]

For me the same feeling as hunting season.

Easy beezy

[@honeybeesunlimited]

If it was always this easy everyone would be doing it.

Just shake the bees in the Nuc and add drawn frames

[@honeybeesunlimited]

Works great too. Thanks for watching

[@daisyshoney6021]

WOW. Just shake the bees in the Nuc and add drawn frames. If they stay the night, than what do you do? Did you see the Queen? Nice size swarm

[@honeybeesunlimited]

We didn't want to spend time digging through them looking for a queen. She was obviously in there, when returned later they had all filed in the ez nuc

[@rtxhoneybees]

Oh man I would not have left them. Did they stay til dark? Whenever I have left them like that, they took off in an hour or two.

[@honeybeesunlimited]

Just spoke to Michelle they stayed, not a bee on the outside just after dark. This was late in the day, otherwise would have scooped them up then.

We always try to leave low limbs like that..a perfect for the next swarm to go to!!
