Got a swarm call today... from my wife.
Here's the pic (sorry my camera sucks... I can not get it to focus correctly anymore. I'm not sure if there's a piece of dust inside the lens that it's focusing on or what, but it is annoying to say the least):

My first thought was "Oh S--- they musta come from one of mine"... so after suiting up the first thing I did was check my hives... but none showed signs of having swarmed. So then I was all "SWEET! FREE BEES!"
looks like a big waving hand out of focus like that.
cheers, free bees.
thats great to hear. glad you got them put up.
were they in your yard?
Looks like they were easy to get and a nice size swarm too.

Yeah, that's one of my little plum trees in the side-yard.
Congratulations SgtMaj on catching a swarm of bees
