Moving Two Swarms from the Farm to the City

Today we are moving two of the swarms that we caught at John's farm to our hives in Apex. Both of these swarms were a bit on the small side, but we're hoping for good results as they take up residence in our yard. We were pleasantly surprised to find that the queen in our Flying High hive had started laying. We had brought one of the swarms with the intention of combining them with this colony, but there was no need. Now, we just have to wait and see if the queen in the Bee Line hive is laying or not. Fingers crossed!
We are practicing natural beekeeping methods using Layens horizontal hives that we built ourselves. To get a copy of the plans that we downloaded for free and used to build our swarm boxes, frames, horizontal hives and insulated horizontal hives, click here: horizontalhive...
