I can start my hove now!
He said it's the BIGGEST swarm he's ever seen!
He called them Midnights.

I really don't know much about them.
He said they're smaller than the Italians.
And more docile.

Here they are! I have my first hive!
There is a second swarm coming too! So I had him buy me another hive!

Ralph just called me and let me know the second swarm is "sitting out on the front porch".  :lol:
He hopes they don't swarm BEFORE the paint dries on my second hive box!

Now I get to drive them home, in the back of my Honda CRV.
I can see it now.
The wire mesh come loose and I have a huge vortex of bees swirling around in my car in the middle of Atlanta.  :lol:

Congratulations Cockatoo. 

Two swarms in two days, that's awesome.

Look forward to hearing how they do.
