Swarm in a Red Bud tree

« on: April 30, 2010, 04:27:04 PM »

One of my hives sent out its 3rd swarm for the year. This justified building a telescoping bucket and buying a telescoping pruner.

The pruners and the bucket made catching this swarm extremely easy. I'd recommend them for anyone who thinks they'll try and catch more than 1 swarm a year.
