Christmas in April

Came home today and found this in my front yard. I do not have any bees anywhere near my house. I am pretty sure they came from a house a few blocks away.

Thats a bunch! Was there actually 2 swarms there? It sure looks like it....

Just guessing I would say about 8 lbs. There may be more. There was defiantly more than 2x the size of a 3 pound package.

I thought that also after the fact. I put them all in one box. I guess we will see how it plays out.

Congrats! What part of Kansas City? That's the first report of a swarm around here I've seen.
