Hive just swarmed
« on: June 04, 2009, 01:45:57 pm »
Well i went out to cut the weeds in the bee yard and noticed the orientation was starting awful early today, 9:30 a.m. Well sure enough they were swarming and fast. I watched as the cloud went over to the neighbors apple tree. I then saw there was already a large clump of bees n the tree. Didnt know there was that many bees in the hive, 1 deep. Ill post some pictures because Im not letting these get away. I cant keep them but the other beek said he'll take them.

I think it was just one swarm but not sure. The guy I gave them to was going to look through the frames to see after they calmed down.
