Beeman Gets Another Swarm
These hives belong to my mentor, Beeman. The hive with the orange box contains the swarm he caught in May. Beautiful boxes, beautiful setting...
...and beautiful swarm about fifty feet behind them in the orchard next to Rainshine Family Farm. Yes, another swarm - he seems to attract them. This one was about twelve feet up in a fruit tree.
Empty hive boxes were placed under the tree to try to lure the swarm down.
Aren't they incredible?
How did he catch the swarm so high up in the tree? Ladder?
