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.

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

[@yourbeekeeper]

Nice work!! Looks like a big healthy swarm.

[@628DirtRooster]

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

[@CastleHives]

Looks like a fairly easy one. Colony seems gentle.

[@628DirtRooster]

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

[@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.

[@628DirtRooster]

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

[@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.

[@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. 😎

[@williamwelch7]

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

[@628DirtRooster]

Good stuff

[@rodneymiddleton9624]

Heck of a big swarm!! Nice job!

[@628DirtRooster]

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

What a great swarm congrats.

Yes, thanks

[@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.

We had another one today almost identical to it under a MEMA cottage.

[@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" 😅😅😅.

[@One29Homestead]

Beautiful swarm!

[@628DirtRooster]

It was a nice one. I gave it away.

[@markbooth8458]

Nice looking dark bees there

[@628DirtRooster]

They were pretty nice as well.

[@Diamond.1978]

And those are not little hands like Little Marco Rubio

[@628DirtRooster]

Rubio got them little soft hands.

That’s what I heard somewhere lol

Dang it man.... Got on a furly nice swarm yessir you did!

I thought so too. 😁

You make it look easy... minus the laying under a house part

[@628DirtRooster]

Laying down on the job is the easiest part. Haha

[@rachelstone4967]

Thanks for the comments on the how & why - really useful to learn such tips & tricks from you

[@628DirtRooster]

Glad it was helpful!

[@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.

[@RICDirector]

Theres a story there....lol

[@paulawagner6058]

[@bizwiz21]

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.

Always welcome those.

[@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!

[@628DirtRooster]

You mean the vac or the hose?

Why do you use a thinner vacuum attachment instead of wide open?

I totally thought when you were pulling that little piece of comb out you were going to get a face full of bees. 😳 The Dirt Rooster making it look to easy.

No doubt there’s opportunity there.
