Title: 2 Easter Swarms
Post by: D Semple on April 10, 2012, 12:09:30 AM
My 1st of the season, 2 weeks earlier than last year, bees are going to town this year. Both originated from bee trees I had the homeowners watching for me.

Swarm 1 - Olathe, KS

Swarm 2 - Bonner Springs, KS
I couldn't get a pre-shake picture of these they were in the middle of the dense bush in the background. And man were they pissy, took 4 stings to the hands and they ran me back to my truck.
