Cut outs, catchin' swarms & crabbin' is what I've been up to & also secured a new very nice be yard that consists of twenty acres of citrus!

Kewl!  :-D Love that citrus flavor. Got some honey from a friend in California that was citrus and the honey was almost clear but good!

Cool video Bro...I enjoyed it for sure! It was awesome watching those swarm bees (1st one) fan in slo-mo. Momma swarm at the end!

I've been passing calls to my buddy this week. Just been too busy with the bees to take any of them. I'll be jumping back in soon though!

Sorry it was so long folks but tried to make it entertaining. Thanks for the feedback! Making a video now, hope I have enough to put it together, all filmed with my iphone. I guarantee it will be much shorter in duration than this one.

I'm very stoked about the new yard. I love any honey with even a hint of citrus. I'm hoping to get some good stuff. The crabbing should be good soon enough. Bailey went this past Saturday & caught 29 boilers and a handful of busters he'll cultivate for soft-shells.

I'm jealous. I want more hives.  :-P I'm waiting for a swarm from a old oaktree on the river. I setup two traps 100 and 150 feet away with old frames and lemongrass. Now the waiting game begins. the suspense is killing me.

Cool about how all that comb at the Fire Training center just came right up with the floor. I've got one coming up where the bees are under a bathroom floor around a drain pipe, don't think I'll be so lucky. Thanks for the video.
