My first swarm!

[Luminos]

Did not expect to get a swarm - but was a real beeginners' swarm, about shoulder height in a blackthorn bush!
Shook it into a nuc box and hived it late yesterday evening - still there this morning.
Do you like the heart-shape of the swarm?

That's fantastic. This year just keeps getting better for you. Good luck with them.

I actually videoed my first swarm walking up the white slope into the hive - amazing sight, but how sad am I?

 

[Silly Bee]

That's a good sized swarm Luminous, lucky you.

Wasn't there time for you to runa fter it and put it back in the cammera to finish the job?

 

[Swarm]

Looking good for you so far Luminos, much better to hear tales of good fortune.
