I'm back! I was out of town squeezing my new nephew in Wyoming and have returned to a crazy load of weeds. Here's the visual rundown of the bee swarm!
They started as a big black cloud and once their queen was in a safe spot, they huddle around her like this. That's just one big blob of bee.
Ross was out of town, so Brent and his wife Danielle drove quite fast to come down and try to save the bees. Since so many swarm, you want to do whatever you can to save them and bring them back to a new hive. And he did it! Jerome put him in the bucket of the skid loader and rose him right up to the branch where he then cut it down and placed it in the new box.
The branch is now out of the box and Ross has checked on them, but no sign of baby bees (which could mean that the queen escaped and didn't get into the box). We'll keep you updated on them. In the warm weather now all the bees are going nuts with work!
Hope your weeks are going wonderfully!
