Once In A Lifetime! - The Incredible Self-Catching Honeybee Swarm Moves In With Existing Colony

Escapades with an escapement of bees!
Abscond moves in with existing colony.
A swarm took off and landed within about 45 minutes total. They moved only about 20' but caused quite a ruckus.

An abscond that took over another colony. Interesting. Africanized bees are known for doing that, but I've never witnessed it. Cool beans.

Cool! Where did you get that plywood?

A friend owns a sign shop, so it’s all recycled materials.

@@riverblueserviceswindowcle7261 That's the VERY BEST plywood. It doesn't warp. Any suggestions where I might ask for some (I live in Austin).

I’d ask any of the local sign shops near you. They generally sell super cheap once a campaign is over.
