Re: Please Post your Swarm Dates?

Dale County, SE Alabama
2 hives swarmed today. One pitched in grapes vines, chest high, about a kickball size swarm. Getting box to try and get them and in less than 10 minutes they left, circled the top of the house and departed for parts unknown southwest.
Second one is right above the hives about 35 feet up in an oak tree. Have been there since about 1PM, football size swarm, still waiting for the scouts to head out, I guess. Have three swarm traps out in area but none of the bees seem to want one as a new home.
