Title: Titusville swarm
Post by: hardwood on March 12, 2013, 01:01:20 am

Thought y'all might like to see the swarm we picked up today. This is the first time Peggy has been able to tag along since her accident over 3 mo ago and it was great having her company!

Scott,
Great video, really enjoyed it, looks like it went pretty smooth. I'd say Peggy actually had the tougher job of entertaining her talkative guest.  :)
I loved it when you told him you were far right...typical leftist mindset thinking only "they" are compassionate enough to want to save some bees, while the evil Republicans would not only want to kill the bees but pollute the air and poison the drinking water on the way out of town.  :-D

Great job Scott.  Finding that queen in that mess was impressive.  Great to see you up and about Peggie.

It is amazing how many people assume beekeepers are leftist.  I too am very quick to point out I am anything but.

Great job Scott. Cannot believe you found the Q after dumping handfull after handful of bees in the box and vacuuming them out.

Glad to see Peggy in the video.   You could have just drove those bees home with you.   Great video.

Nice video y'all.  Kinda sounded like Larry Bees in the background.

That was great Scott and Peggy. The guy was very excited it seems about the whole experience.

Wonderful and educational. I am always happy when you find the queen in that whole crowd of bees.

Thanks for sharing
