Well caught another swarm at work yesterday. This small swarm was 5 feet from the one I caught last Thursday, on top of the same broken down old truck. The one from last week was on the ground where as this one was hanging off a bar on top of the truck. This is the fifth swarm that has landed around my plant that we know of so far this year. I stumbled on this one by accident. I was walking one of the other sales guys, to show him the hive that is in a wall, which is right in front of this water truck. All of the sudden he ask me what do you think those bees are doing? I turn around and sure enough not 10 feet from me there they were.

Nice swarm and nice box! You know that box looks black to the bees, right?

It seems to happen on days when I'm actually busy. Yesterday I was slammed today not busy at all :? But either way happy to get out the office to go catch some bees

Are you still on the clock when you get the swarm's.
Irwin I have a very cool boss.
I'm salaried anyway so unfortunately I never go "off the clock" :-\
Keith
Keith, bees see red as black, really.

WOW Keith your a lucky man. Go to work catch bees and get paid that's as good as JP. :)

That was wonderful to be able to catch a swarm at work. Gosh there really seem to be a mass amount of bees out your way.
