Plum Tree Swarm

Plum Tree Swarm What not to do! Swarm capture attempt one...FAIL. Big time. Attempt 2 capture successful. They don't normally sting while swarming. I will wear my suit from now on.

Loved that that was so funny. Some keepers make it look so easy I guess practice makes perfect. Thanks for the laugh. Hows the long hive doing.

Most swarm collections go well but this one I was holding the box wrong. The single level long hives do well. I gave all of my langstroth hive equipment to my brothers. The long boxes are all I have. I only have 4 hives left due to lack of management. I have 2 empty long boxes that will easily fill up next summer.
