Still some cold weather to come

Do you know where bees came from?
They were in a tree next to a buddy of mines house
I suspect they are from his hives
I took the video with a cellphone and I was to busy to film much
here's a couple of short clips merged together
in the end they all marched in the box so I'm sure we got the queen

Nice catch! Looks like time to keep a deep, veil, and gloves in the truck. I hope you catch several more.
That is one large swarm. I have caught several like that. They start filling honey supers within a month.

we trimmed as much foliage away as we could and then slipped a garbage bag over the swarm
snipped the branch loose from the tree and we had em
unfortunately, one piece of foliage my buddy snipped had a blob of bees on it so we had to deal with them all in the air
but no stings :cool:
I caught a swarm to day also

That is another nice swarm. It looks like it may bee too big for that box.
