A couple of photos of the swarm we caught today on a neighboring property. It was about 15 feet up so we had to use some non-OSHA appropriate means of access. Got them relocated into their new home.

Two of the gardening hacks we came up with. The first is a flood table that sprung a leak so we converted it into a planting table and at first we had it in the greenhouse but it gets hot in their plus the sunlight so we moved it outside in the breeze. The second are boot trays for on the table in the greenhouse to protect the wood. They are cheap and durable.

The wooden lids help against pests. It could use some more soil in the back but we figured the composter can supply that.

I love when things go together. We installed four bee colony nucleus today. Two did this pattern where they have a few fanning pheromones while the rest line up and walk into the hive. It’s a good sign of a strong colony.
