they hit the wall on friday, the homeowner didnt start calling till yesterday.. get there today and it seems they had a partial move in? but were undecided as the scouts were filling the air. Got all them on the outside with a vaccum as I couldnt knock em down because of the all the pipes below. setup a cone on the entrance.. I put the bees in a deep and they did the thing. I think there is a sho enuf queen in the box, gotta look in the day tomorrow.
If that is what you vacuumed I'm 99.999999999999999999...% sure you got the queen. Huge swarm & great pic!

that's a nice wad of bees!
real nice catch there Duck!!
Nice find!
Question for you, Duck: How common is it to find a swarm that big in your area? Thanks
Sweet.
that is getting to be common. most are soccerballs, but basketballs are starting to show up, the swarms are getting larger not smaller, I think the mild winter with early warmup had them building up real quick here.
