Post by: the-ecohouse.com on March 08, 2012, 03:26:51 am

This is crazy..

Two Autumn swarms this year very strange...i mean they are pumping but hey what the?

perhaps its all that rain we got last week, crowded them in for 5 days?

they look good this time ie didn;t kill the queen.

Hey Eco weird stuff with these Autumn swarms I caught one that came from a feral colony in a tree on Wednesday.
Like you I couldn't believe it.  I knew where the ferals lived it the bush behind my house and I was walking in the yard when I heard them fly over the fence and land in a shrub 2 metres off the ground.

I love swarms.

Cheers

random eh?

I guess it doesn't matter how many boxes you have on sometime there just too many bees in the hive
