Title: Swarm at the bee Yard
Post by: blanc on June 09, 2012, 08:33:06 PM
These were bees from a cutout we did yesterday that traveled down between bricks and wall. We were going back to start another hive today but spent the morning vaccuming this gang and did a shake out at the yard to see what would happen and low and behold the swarm above my boxes and was able to put them in a TBH I made some time back. Appears the queen is in there because those beauties were fanning and the rest were making high tail to the box.
