Got a call from over by Springfield, 35 miles east about noon
Was kind of skeptical, but it was a nice day and needed a road trip
Decent sized swarm, maybe 1 to 1.5 pounds, clustered on the trunk of a 7-8 ft Scotch Pine
Got them in a hive with no trouble, going to pick them up Monday when the home-owner gets back.

looks great. did you happen to find the queen
did not see her
but there was a point at which a mass ingress started, I assume when she went in
Had a swarm cast a couple years ago in September...in N/W Wisconsin!
It happens.

I hived 2 swarms on Aug. 27 and 28 but they sure are building fast they better. Not much time left.
I seen eggs with in 5 days.
Good luck.
