Gracious, I came home tonight and in my carport in an old nuc, a swarm has taken up residence.
I can't believe this year. In my own yard I have collected a huge vigorous swarm and now this swarm has on its own moved into this nuc. I clearly can't leave it in my carport.
Although I must say, the bees chose rather wisely - it is facing east, off the ground on top of a brick wall about knee high, and it is protected from the elements by the carport roof.
I guess I'll let it establish itself in the nuc for a week and then move it to who knows what spot in my yard that already sports eight hives.
