Title: The Joys of Swarm Catching. Part 3
Post by: rawfind on November 16, 2012, 08:52:02 am
Hi all,
         got a call the other day for a swarm 7 meters up a tree it was about 35 mins drive away,
On getting there i met with the owner and inspected the situation, i then went about the task of bringing
all my gear around the back to do the job.
Imagine my dismay when all of a sudden the girls decided to go on the move again! all i could do was watch as they flew next door,
i went 2 houses down and knocked their door as i wasnt sure if it was their place or next door where they were settling, they settled next door in the rotten wall of an old shed so i was not able to retreive tham as no one was home, i left my number and name with the neighbor
but havnt heard back, i guess you win some you lose some.
