Description: studiobeeproductions.com It's been a while since I've wrangled bees all on my own, and since both Charlie and Ralph had prior commitments, I was left to handle the job the best I could, single handed. As it turned out, the homeowner was happy to assist in any way, and I was very happy for the help. We have had an unusual swarm season this year with many of them coming late in May and right up to the middle of June. The reason for it, so many hives become honey bound and there is no more room in the hive. When that happens, swarm cells are formed and the hive splits. On this video, as I was checking out a swarm that had just moved in, another one started moving in just across the driveway. I told the homeowner I'd be back the next day and remove them both, a swarm twofer. The second swarm was a bit tougher to remove than the first one, and I had to drill sideways through a stud to get to the bees, but it all worked out well. With both swarms vacuumed up and the queens in their respective cages, the bees were moved up to the abbey to begin their new live as Abbee Honey bees. Thanks for watching. God's peace to all. Mr. Ed
