    Joey, it seems like this is a big year for swarms. I didn’t set any traps this year. I have all of the bees that I need. I was at my out yard yesterday and could hear bees and got to looking and there was a swarm traveling by above the trees and it didn’t come out of my hives. I’ve had a couple of calls about swarms clustered and I just passed them on. I hope you get all you need.

      I. have more that I need. lol I think I am going to pass some of them that I have caught on to other folks. Maybe just letting them pay for the equipment that they take.

    You need to consider putting fishing line in those empty frames. How many swarms have you caught in traps this year?

    • @josephrawls
      @josephrawls  Рік тому +1

      I know. I have fishing line and the frame were but just too lazy to put in in the frames. lol! I have caught 12 but 2 of them have come from my yard, or boxes I should day. You know, I have not gotten the first swarm call this year. Strange.

    To my understanding, "the other day" could be a couple days ago or several weeks ago to beekeepers. I picked up a similar one from my dad. "Here awhile back" could be a week or so, or it might mean a couple years or more.

    I will catch swarms in the Philippines. Two or three Apis bees are suitable for apiary and running loose and feral. The Apis dosotta is not. A dozen or so stingless bees are agreeable enough to hive up.
