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.

Looks like a good candidate to set up a couple swarm traps every March. Help even the score with Mr Ed!

[@628DirtRooster]

I bet she'd let me trap up there too.

[@JeffHorchoff]

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.

Don't spend that Superchat all in one place. :)

Hey, 628 dirt rooster that was beautiful, You’re just so gentle with the bees 🐝, love watching it catch you on the next one from Canada. Take care, Colleen.🐝🇨🇦🐝

[@628DirtRooster]

Thanks Colleen. Working on a new one now.

[@crocheting-around-the-planet]

Those ‘girls’ found a new home…🐝 Sweet swarm, “I did wonder what the white piece was when you first took the insolation away!” What a beautiful site… Thank you Mr Dirt Rooster 🤛🏼🐝💛 from me in Yorkshire UK

[@628DirtRooster]

Thanks for joining us from the UK

[@jamiewilson9262]

Glad you got the call early for these girls! That was a fun one to watch. 😊

[@628DirtRooster]

They would have built out fast.

[@CastleHives]

Looks like a fairly easy one. Colony seems gentle.

[@628DirtRooster]

They were laid back sipping the sweet nectar of the privet hedge bushes.

[@williegillie5712]

That bee sucker did a good job. So did the operator. A nice full box of vacuumed 🐝 bees looking pretty healthy

[@628DirtRooster]

We try. 😎

[@yourbeekeeper]

Nice work!! Looks like a big healthy swarm.

[@628DirtRooster]

It’s going to make someone a lot of honey.

[@thenodiggardener]

I just watched Mr Ed's bunch of angry bees, and then came to see you with a ball of calm in comparison😁

[@628DirtRooster]

Mr. Ed probably wore his Polo cologne he got from Temu and that set them off.

[@tommychew6544]

How many swarm calls do you get a week around this time of the year? It was neat to see one that was that early in sitting up house with that small piece of comb.

[@628DirtRooster]

I get six or eight calls a day for swarms or cut outs this time of year. Some are scouts, some are out of the area and some are window shoppers.

[@dlyall26]

I've been thinking about starting my own bee keeping, so I went to a bee keeper to get 12 bees, but he gave me 13. I asked why 13 he said, "The last one is a freebee" 😅😅😅.

[@rodneymiddleton9624]

Heck of a big swarm!! Nice job!

[@628DirtRooster]

I think that might be the biggest swarm I've gotten this year.

[@mistymountaintraveladventures]

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!

[@628DirtRooster]

Glad you found us again. Wishing you a speedy recovery.

Thanks Randy. Just did a big cut out under a house today, fortunately it was on stilts and about four feet off the ground.

Nice looking dark bees there

[@628DirtRooster]

They were pretty nice as well.

[@phillipduncan2497]

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.

[@628DirtRooster]

I accidentally destroyed the motor on the battery vac.

Only three locations right now.

[@tobygabriel5674]

Hey Dirt, why don't you use a larger round vacuum to suck up the bees? Is that to not make them mad and clear off? Just curious ? Cheers. Huge swarm indeed! Dang!

What happens to bees left behind? Do they die or join other hives?

[@628DirtRooster]

They’ll die unless there’s another colony very close by.

Ever see the movie "the beekeeper"? Extremely violent, foul language but good story. The ending was great!
