Title: Lela's Swarm
Post by: jmblakeney on May 16, 2012, 12:41:59 am

Got a tip about a swarm in Fountain City, TN.  Gave the lady a call and they were still there so we headed that way.

Sorry for the quality of the vid at first.  Got it figured out in the end and fixed it.  :roll:

Looks like your boy is having the time of his life on your bee calls. Makings of a great little bee keeper there.
