Title: swarms - finally!
Post by: wildbeekeeper on May 07, 2011, 10:32:57 PM
Well with all of the wet weather, our swarm season has been delayed about a week... until today.  Removed two swarms.  One the size o a grapefruit, the other probably about 5lbs of bees.  Really filled a 5 frame nuc!  these next few days might be busy!(http://img197.imageshack.us/img197/2528/p5074486.jpg) (http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/197/p5074486.jpg/)
