First Swarm of the Season
« on: March 09, 2011, 02:08:41 pm »
Removed my first swarm of the season on Monday March 7th.
About 15 ft up in a tree. Barely reached it with my 10 ft ladder.
Hearing many others throughout California catching swarms just this week.
There's a good nectar flow right now here in the SF Bay Area.





This was the bulk of the swarm. I cut a branch before this and removed only about 1/6 of the group.
Took three branch cuts to remove the entire thing.

"In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American...There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag...We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language...And we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people."

Theodore Roosevelt 1907
