Picked up a large swarm from a fence post. Got a call right after school. And had then in the box by 5 pm. Maysville ky 41056
Caught a nice swarm at 7:00 pm. Got the call at 5:50 pm just as it started to rain. Rained all evening. Mayslick, ky 41055
3-4 lb Swarm 15 feet up a tree. Found wild parent colony 20 feet away. Mayslick Ky 41055. First of the year. About 70 degrees off and on rain all day. I was able to get them down and in a hive.
