Got a swarm call while at work.  Hour before I could get off and the swarm had been in the tree for 3 days.
I was fully expecting to arrive to find an empty tree with wax bits where the swarm was. 

Thankfully I was wrong. It was a very nice swarm just sitting there waiting for me to come give them a nice new home!!!

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.

Have you ever been to Minnesota? 
Keeping bees since 2011.

Also please excuse the typos.  My iPad autocorrect can be brutal.

Enough is enough already Bailey.  Why don't you just update us at every 5? :-P Oh but then again, that would still be every day.  Congrats to a great start friend.

Does that mean you don't want to hear about the trap that hit today? :evil:
It isn't on the rack yet so I wasn't going to report it yet :-D

Y'all gotta understand something. Jp is my mentor.  I gotta try to make him proud by " snatching the pebble from his hand"

Till then I will be working hard to get every swarm in southeast la.

For you younger folks who don't get this look up the old tv show Kung fu.

Aw, go ahead. I got a feeling your going to anyway.  I got my first trapped swarm of the year yesterday and scouts galore on another one today so I am not as jealous as I was.

If the weather clears then I will have # 17 on the rack tonight. 
Just got back from running the trap line and I have at least #17 ready to go on the rack and suspect # 18 as well in another.
But they don't count till I have them on the rack!
