This summer I removed an exposed colony from a pine tree about 35 to 40 feet up. Evidently the swarm got trapped there by bad weather and started building comb on the branches. I thought it was a fluke, being up here in NE Ohio. Well, I got a call the other night from the same homeowner. He found ANOTHER exposed colony in the same clump of trees! This one is in a blue spruce about 20 to 30 feet up. I am going to get it this week and combine it with one of my smaller hives. What are the chances of getting TWO exposed colonies in the same year, in the same yard, in the same clump of trees, this far north? :-D
