Title: Juhuhuh A SWARM!!!
Post by: Mici on June 24, 2007, 07:05:30 AM
ok... i thought i was cursed or something, not getting swarms and stuff.
well, yesterdays my parents went to this celebration and stayed for the night in a close by weekend owned by my aunts boyfriend.
when they got up, they noticed they actually slept under a swarm, inside the house! my mom, quickly imformed me of it, and i gave a few advice on how to get it (it's far from here, so i didn't want to go, more than 100miles)

i called my dad minutes ago and new information has been gathered, if i sum it up, it's gonna be a cut out from hell! can't be accesed from inside the house, i'll have to remove the undercover of the roof etc etc.. actually i can't tell much more, because i haven't seen it, maybe we'll go tommorow, maybe.

this is for now, i'll post more, when i get more. but if i thought i'd EVER had to do a cut-out...i'll be darned.

Mici, make sure you bring a swarm trap if you can, in case you can't get all of the bees on this trip.

HA had difficulties just to get an empty hive, so...i don't know, i'll just put a box, and maybe even a queen in it, just to make them stay there. but i jet, have to see the situation, where they have entrance, and i'll be probably working on roof so...ah well, i'll see. good thing i have spare queens, if i won't get the queen.
