 :-D
I can start my hove now!
He said it's the BIGGEST swarm he's ever seen!
He called them Midnights.

[Natalie]

Congratulations!! I have heard of those, aren't they something like starline midnights or something like that?

[Cockatoo]

I really don't know much about them.
He said they're smaller than the Italians.
And more docile.

Here they are! I have my first hive!
There is a second swarm coming too! So I had him buy me another hive!

Congratulations Cockatoo!!!!! I feel your excitment, Wishing you bestest of luck :-D

[Cockatoo]

Ralph just called me and let me know the second swarm is "sitting out on the front porch".  :lol:
He hopes they don't swarm BEFORE the paint dries on my second hive box!

[Cossack]

Congrats......
:-D

[Cockatoo]

Now I get to drive them home, in the back of my Honda CRV.
I can see it now.
The wire mesh come loose and I have a huge vortex of bees swirling around in my car in the middle of Atlanta.  :lol:

I am so jealous.  That looks like a fantastic bunch of bees.

Congratulations Cockatoo. 

Two swarms in two days, that's awesome.

Look forward to hearing how they do.
