Opened the swarm trap to find this - was expecting this one to be straightforward but bees had other plans… 🐝🐝🐝 #BeeKeeping #SwarmCatching

I think this is #8? Banner swarm season, I’m out of hives!! 🐝🐝🐝 #BeeKeeping #SwarmCatching

I think this is #7? I may have lost count. Quite the swarm season here 🐝🐝🐝 #BeeKeeping #SwarmCatching

#6!!! 🐝🐝🐝 #BeeKeeping #SwarmCatching

Thermal images of the swarm trap after moving it to the apiary this evening. #BeeKeeping #SwarmCatching

Woah, peeked inside the swarm trap with the endoscope, looks like these ladies will go right into a full sized hive - nice catch if I do say so myself! #BeeKeeping #SwarmCatching

Flir images of the swarm trap, these ladies will likely go into an 8 frame when we transfer them. #BeeKeeping #SwarmCatching

Swarm catch #3 of the year, looks to be a decent sized cluster in there. Will be moving them to the apiary tonight 🐝🐝🐝 #BeeKeeping #SwarmCatching

Transferred the swarm trap into the brown hive today, bees are fanning to let the incoming ladies know where to go. Had placed an empty swarm trap last night on the tree when I removed the occupied trap, now it appears that I have some stragglers at the new trap. May need to bring them over tonight to join their buddies. #BeeKeeping #SwarmCatching

And one more after I moved them over to the apiary, will transfer them to a hive probably tomorrow 🐝🐝🐝 #BeeKeeping #SwarmCatching

Got ‘em! 🐝🐝🐝 #BeeKeeping #SwarmCatching

Just popped out and caught a swarm at a mate's place to give to another mate.

Friends helping friends keep bees 💛

Thankfully it was a super easy swarm to collect.
