It didn’t work. Sadly, by the time Hobbit King got to the swarm location, the scouts had made it back and the swarm was on the move.
He said it looked like a tornado; the swarm was huge as they made their move.
Hobbit King was able to follow them across several yards, but then he lost it.
Here’s a picture of one of our hives when we first got them ready (1911) for a nuc of bees:

Oh well…maybe we’ll get one yet.
Happy Thursday to Everyone!

Hi! There is a huge tree in our church yard that almost always has a swarm or two every year. I have a friend watching it for you! If we see one beginning, I’ll call you! Maybe you will find more than one! Happy day, BJ
