Swarm

Had one swarm Sunday and it was too high in the tree.
Sat a box out but they went some where else :'( doak

Doak, I was turkey hunting at my property last saturday in Wilkinson county when my wife said what's that noise? It was a huge swarm that came right over our camper, I took off running after them hoping I could see were they were going, but they can fly faster than I can run, missed out on that one too.

Hello there, guess someone else has welcomed you to the forum, but I will again.
Noticed the few post you have and figured you are sorta new.
I am a few counties over from Wilkinson Co., Jones county.
I am right in the middle of Cedar Creek Wildlife Management Area.
Turkey hunters are in here almost as thick as the deer hunters.
I wanted to get into my hives today but looks like the wind is picking up a little and it is on the cool side.

You could try beelining to locate them, although it's usually more effort than it's worth. To really catch a swarm, you have to find some way to get the queen into the box.  If you can do that, the others will follow.
