    I reached out to the guy who left the swarm trap and had him meet me at my house. I brought his swarm trap with me and we transferred those bees from my vac to his trap that evening.

    I agree, this was a very large swarm, and as it was about 10 times the size of one of your normal swarms you catch over there, I'm going to let you count it as 10 singles in our swarm competition. Of course, Jennifer did find it and let you get credit for it. I guess I better get busy and catch more swarms, I can't let you get to far ahead of me. God's peace brother.

    • @628DirtRooster

    Good grief, I started a new channel and had such a hard time finding you again! YAY! Can't wait to watch your videos again! Beautiful bees you found there! I learn so much from your videos, so thank you! I only have one hive, and hope to get bees back into it next year. I had back surgery last November and doc said no to lifting the heavy part of my cathedral hive off until next year! So glad I get to watch your videos again! Happy Bee Season and Summer to you and your family!

    I see you are using a different bee vac. Was this swarm too big for the battery operated one? Nice swarm.Bees are swarming early here in Missouri. I have run out of regular hive bodies. For now I have set up a double deep nuc box. I don't want to expand apiary but in a pinch I may have to use three medium supers on a bottom board and a cover.
