Ready and Looking Forward

[FatherMichael]

As of today I have two bait hives and two swarm traps for known locations of bees, and two Paradise hives geared up to receive nucs I bought from The Bee Place.

Feels good to be ready.

Takes the pressure off for building two experimental insulated hives.

You are indeed ready! I hope you fill every bee container that you have and you cup runneth over!!

We woke up this morning to 50 degree temperatures and there was a swarm in a tree outside our bedroom window. They must have swarmed yesterday. They were too cold to fly.  I placed a medium 10 frame box with drawn brood frames directly under them and pulled a handful of them down into the box. I didn?t have time to work with them and had to leave.
I?m hoping they will move in on their own by the time I get home.

Good luck Father. I got wood dust flying today myself. Making 8 new traps plus my 4 old ones.

Jim I can?t wait till I finally get to see a swarm first hand. Hopefully it?s not my own.

Beautiful Jim. I hope you get them!

Fantastic, Jim!

My one 8 frame garden hive in a deep and medium is just bursting.

We've had cold nights and cool breezes during the day.

I'm sure they want to swarm and hope to catch it -- very good queen in that hive.

Just set out my second swarm trap today. Near water, on a tree along the wooded edge of a large open cemetery.

Thanks, Phillip.  Same to you!

Sounds like a good location.
