Happy to say I got a second silver spoon today. The swarm trap I put up on Monday has a very active swarm setting up residence in it this afternoon. I’m feel like I’m off to a good start for a new bee keeper.

I had a airborne swarm come in, about 8:50 in the morning, A couple weeks ago while cutting the lawn. I drove right into the middle of them in hopes of dropping them on a close branch. That wasn't working, so I ran in to get the chainsaw; they just wouldn't drop. ( First time in 40 years, I couldn't make a swarm lite on a limb.) They headed west into the neighbors property. It's like watching a 100 dollar bill fly away Another swarm,in the picture, took up residency in an undesirable spot.

I take out the trash at our local elementary school. Usually the bees are all over the dumpster this time of year. Haven't seen one so far this year, very odd.

A swarm of bees in June, is worth a silver spoon.
