This was a very large (5-6lbs) swarm that moved in 3 days prior. The queen was a real runner. I missed her on the comb, then vacuumed her, dumped her into a nuc, then dumped her into a 10 frame deep all with good indications of where she was the whole time. She ended up leaving the deep and landing 10-12 feet away in the grass where Peggy was able to snatch her!

The best part is that we got two new bee yards out of the deal :-D

"In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American...There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag...We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language...And we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people."

Very nice job, looks like a great bunch of gentle feral bees, thanks for the video.  Your wife has got some chutzpah to take a sting inside the nose last week and be working bees in a tank top this week, my kind of gal.

Cool about the beeyards also.

Thanks Scott and Peggy!

This sure helps pass the time till I can work some bees again. Right now I am watching yet another winter storm roll in.

I sure envy y'all. Well at least till the temps get to 80F.  :-D
