What the total number of swarm you caught so far this year?
Johnny
6 or 7, i cant remember.
had one come into a swarm trap that was too small, they swarmed out after a day :oops:

I'm gonna say 18 so far. I call a swarm anything I can shake in a box, even though today's flew in on Saturday, I had to remove bricks to get to them, so I'm calling it a cut out.
Btw, I had two swarm calls today I couldn't get to, one on a tree, I'll ivestigate that tomorrow. The other one was weird. This guy wet them and bagged them, then drove them about 6 miles down the road and let them go.

2 in a week
How do you count swarms? If I stay on the phone for 45 minutes with a guy 1200 miles away, coaching him through a swarm catch, do I count that as one?
If I put one in a box, wait 5 minutes, watch a mass exodus and they are gone, do I count that one?
If I go to a beek's house and shake one in his box that came from one of his hives, do I count it?
Somewhere between 6 and 12, depending on how you count.
ZERO! I'm waiting to catch my first...

Doug don't feel like the long ranger. I have zero swarm too

I've actually gone to get 14. I've given away about 12 that I couldn't get to due to distance or lack of time. It's been a good year so far.
Because of the wreck I was in last Thursday and complications arriving from dealing with the other person's insurance company, etc... I missed out on about 4-5 more! :-x
Two were described to be as big as basketballs! :-x
Oh well, will just get them later on as cut outs! :shock: :-D

Bro...what happened? I didn't know about that.
A beautiful young lady (18) drove out in front of me, trying to make a left turn, was sort of comitted to going but didn't have to (imo) and rather then wait, she decided to try and zoom across from a standstill, while I was going 40 mph, bang zoom right in her passenger rear door, after skidding 50'!

Dang bro! Was your trailer hooked up? Did it total your truck? Did she get hurt?
