Appears to be a very nice sized swarm. Hope its not your swarm. How do you like your TBH's. I might make on some day.

It was a HUGE swarm and unfortunately I think it is my own bees. I really like the TBH's...easy to work, don't need smoke, easy on the back. I have 6 Langstroth hives and 2 TBH'S.

Yeah, looks huge but pictures can some times be deceiving if you dont have something for scale. At least you caught them. Good luck.
