Title: Swarm "SHAKE" 3/30/11
Post by: montauk170 on March 31, 2011, 02:19:40 PM
Caught a swarm yesterday. The owner used his iphone to record the event...
Here's the ultimate swarm shake. I wanted to make sure I shook them all in at once.  ;)
(Kinda embarrassing but enjoy!)  :-D

That was a Perfect Dive
I'd give it an 8 on a scale of 10

It was not all net :-D but still a 2 pointer
Bravo  X:X

Good save, boy that was close to disaster, glad you didn't break an ankle and end up with a lap full of bees.

that was slick!   :-D

one suggestion in case the next time you are not so lucky...put a tarp down.  i have found out the hard way that it's much easier to retrieve a dropped swam from a tarp than from the grass! 

it's the ending that counts and that was a good one!

Thanks for sharing it with us.

Haha! Glad you'll enjoyed it. I and the bees weren't harmed. Hopefully no more of these OOPS in the future!
