West Virginia---have an extremely small swarm hanging in one of my apple trees. A queen and about 20-25 bees. They've been there for 3 days. Too small, too late...

9/11/2012 Biggest swarm I have ever personally ever seen in 40 years of beekeeping.

Picked up a football sized swarm on a DC-3 at work (Long Beach, Ca) . Put them in a spare medium box with half a comb of honey and wished them luck. Sadly, I don't have a spare frame of brood to give them as my other hive seems mostly honey bound and slow to build fresh comb.

One of my hives swarmed on October 2nd here in Nova Scotia Canada. I don't know what they were thinking.

Dobbins website address used to always be listed in the #1 post. It appears to have disappeared with the last revision.

I checked my hives in Stuart, Va, today (1/13) and they are bringing in lots of yellow pollen. They have been collecting it long enough to have packed into wallet sized areas of brood comb. They are also bringing in a green pollen. I don't know the source of either of the pollens.

This is a bit 'after the fact' but I caught 1 swarm on 14 Jan 13.

Swarm crossed my backyard today, feb 9, 2013. I heard them from inside. They look to be setting up housekeeping in a large oak across street. I have put out a storm trap.

Nice size, probably four pounds, seven feet up in a redwood tree. First of the year for me.

Came down from NY to make early splits and found a 4 pound swarm 15 feet up on a tree branch. Used a 10 foot length of pipe and a cardboard box taped to the pipe to retrieve the swarm. My first of the year, and hopefully not the last.

[NY_BLUES]

Just caught a 2nd swarm in the same tree as the first, and it was the same size. We werent expecting them to be swarming this soon.

I have put out a storm trap.
