2nd swarm capture this year
« on: May 23, 2011, 09:57:46 pm »
Wasn't able to film the first one  :'( but i got this one as best as i could.  Really need to invest in a tripod that's for sure filming and shaking bees isn't easy.  Hope ya'll folks enjoy it!

One of my fav swarm catching videos had a white sheet underneath the nuc for easy viewing of any bees who defy gravity and don't fall in the box.. 8)  I will try if I ever get a swarm call in time.
