Well I caught another small swarm right before nightfall and thanks to Mister Baileys advice those little gals got in that cardboard box with not too much fuss. It was about a cabbage ball size and will be transferring them in main hive in the morning. I got jealous of JP and Shawee catchin all them bees I just had to get me some too.
Psalm 19:9-10
The fear of the Lord is clean,enduring forever; the judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether.
More to be desired are they than gold, yea ,than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.

Thanks Blue! Just by talkin to a few folks I have located three wild hives in just a week and have a swarm box by one right now trying to catch another swarm. Just have to learn as I go and some good advice from fellow bee keepers.

The fear of the Lord is clean,enduring forever; the judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether.

"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."

Theodore Roosevelt 1907

The pedigree of honey
Does not concern the bee;
A clover, any time, to him
Is aristocracy.

My swarm traps are out but I'm running with a tower crew in East Texas, supervising their installations on some of our towers.  I'm sure we a few swarms flying this week.  Last week was nothing but clouds and rain.  This week we're warm, the sun is out and, I'm sure, swarms are flying.  Hopefully, some have found my traps.  I will not be able to check them until Sat. at the earliest.  At the rate this crew is going I will not be done with them until the end of next week.
