Anyway, that swarm would have been perfect for me.  Does it get any easier than this one??

I like to run between 40-50 hives, the rest go to friends. I also set new beeks up.

The palm swarm was given to my friend Bailey in Raceland, Louisiana. I can only guess that they are doing fine. As far as I know, he added a medium and some feed as they barely fit inside the deep I put them in.
