Re: Please Post your Swarm Dates?

5/15/15 66401 Captured 2 swarms this morning. One 20' feet up above my hives and another on a tree limb 5' feet up and 20 yards from my hives. The taller ones were from a hive that had 2 recently hatched queen cells. The lower one looks like it was from a nuke I queened a month ago and had just moved into 2 deeps Monday.

Re: Please Post your Swarm Dates?

Two swarms today, 6/22, one high in my cedar tree, one low in the same tree...likely both from my hives, but I've not been able to determine that yet. I've been concerned about being nectar/honey bound in a few of my hives. We'll know more tomorrow. I got them both for now, but that may or may not take.

What is needed:


  • zip code, city or county
  • date when the bees swarmed or when you found the swarm.
  • comments - example: if the swarm came from your hive, or if you were called to pick up a swarm, how long was it there. This is not for cutouts unless the bees just took up residence and are not established. It would also be great to include a small photo of the swarm.
