Was in the process of removing an open hive in a live oak tree and got the cal of this swarm 5 mins away and took me only 15 min to shake and bake. :-D Not a big one but one as well. Got nine more to catch up with Bailey. :)

Good going Blanc. Haven't seen one yet here this year, several last year. Those down low on a limb are good ones. Had four last year up 10 to 15 ft. not quite as easy but not hard. In the tallest one couldn't get a ladder there, so threw a rope over limb and shook em down. Good catching to all

This one was about 3 ft high and just got there that morning and was looking for my box to settle in. :-D Got to love it. My first swarm last year was the same size and I put it in a top bar hive before I adapted to langs and they are still there. Hive is almost 4 ft wide and plan on making some nucs from it this week coming.
