Title: Provo swarm removal.
Post by: cklspencer on May 15, 2012, 10:28:15 am
I was able to do another swarm removel with my daughter yesterday. This swarm was 20 feet up in a tree. I was able to use the swarm pole to get them down. Hope you enjoy.

What a great video. I was thinking it was a good shot of the suit sitting beside the box, and then all of a sudden it moved!!  :-D

Isn't the pole bucket the greatest thing you've ever used? She sure is cute!

She's 6, she had been stung a few time and still doesn't mind playing with the bees. Her and her sister got there own top bar hive this year to work with. Once their bee suits show up that will fit them I will take some video of them playing in their hive and post it.

I wish I would have one much sooner. It is now one of the best and most used tools in my swarm catching list. Sure beats having to try and use a ladder. The last three high swarms I have been able to use making the removal that much faster.

Good video.   Good job training her.  My kid will just walk up on the hives without his suit on.       Pine pollen heavy now?
