got a call from a fella that i removed a swarm for 2 years ago today, he had another one for me today.
was going to get photos but the rain was just starting and i got in a hurry and forgot.
had em in the box beside me in the truck before i remembered i wanted photos. :-X

bailey.
most often i find my greatest source of stress to be OPS  ( other peoples stupidity )

It is better to keep ones mouth shut and be thought of as a fool than to open ones mouth and in so doing remove all doubt.

Isn't this a bit earlier than the past few years? Last year our swarms started in the 2nd week of April, it was a week later the year before that. But this is just my 3rd year, so what do I know. :D

My swarm season usually begins late February, early March.

I don't think ours is until after the last frost. Which will hopefully be this week. Then I'm thinking about inspecting and doing some splits with any queen cells I find.

I've picked up 3 in the last week alone...off to a great start!

Scott
"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."
