Just went and got my first swarm ever. Got a call and went with another beek and got it out. It was wedged in between a tree base and a vertical limb and lots of undergrowth. Took a while and a few stings but finally got it done. Very educational and look forward to the next one.

If any one in the Huntsville are collects swarms, I would love to go out with you and learn. I do not know if two sets of hands would be better than one set. Maybe I could be of some help! :DNever done it and a little nervous! Just send me a PM and I will give you my contact info.
