Rube Goldburg and the Bees

Suzanne shows us the easy way to collect a swarm of bees.  A suit, ladder, wooden plank, bungy cord, box and t-ball bat are all you need.  The swarm is in the tree behind her just above the bat.  Click on photo for a closer look.  The video is not quite as exciting as the boys thought it would be, but I'm impressed.

This is our third swarm this spring from our two hives, but our hives are still active with bees.

Spring is under way.  The Bees swarmed.  Too bad they were 30 feet up in the spruce where we could not catch them.  I posted the swarm on craigs list and had 5 people who wanted bees.  Click on the picture that looks like snow.  It's cool.
