Swarm catching at work

[Keith13]

Well caught another swarm at work yesterday. This small swarm was 5 feet from the one I caught last Thursday, on top of the same broken down old truck. The one from last week was on the ground where as this one was hanging off a bar on top of the truck. This is the fifth swarm that has landed around my plant that we know of so far this year. I stumbled on this one by accident. I was walking one of the other sales guys, to show him the hive that is in a wall, which is right in front of this water truck. All of the sudden he ask me what do you think those bees are doing? I turn around and sure enough not 10 feet from me there they were.

It seems to happen on days when I'm actually busy. Yesterday I was slammed today not busy at all :?  But either way happy to get out the office to go catch some bees

Are you still on the clock when you get the swarm's.

[Keith13]

Irwin I have a very cool boss.
I'm salaried anyway so unfortunately I never go "off the clock" :-\

That was wonderful to be able to catch a swarm at work. Gosh there really seem to be a mass amount of bees out your way.
