I went over to visit my neighbor and was talking to his wife on the porch when she noticed a big swar in the cherry tree above his hives. We got out the ladder and I had an extra box, climbed up and cut the limb. came down and the cluster went back up. Apparently she was on another limb. let them cluster for a while and took a bucket with lid. got all I could, put them in the box. saw alot of bees fanning at the hole in the top of the box and bees entering rapidly. Am assuming I got the queen there was still afairly large cluster around the limb but the bees in the box covered the frames and bees were steady coming. Guess we will know tommorrow.
