Happy New Year -- swarm call #1




I didn't expect for the first swarm to come from an actual swarm , especially on January 4th. Typically when you come across a swarm this early there's a problem. I put a small nuc on a ladder underneath and brushed them off the eave into it. They went right down in and seemed happy to have the sugar water. I came back an hour later and took them off. This ladies and gentlemen is as easy as it gets . I'll check them in about ten days and see whats going on...
