Was fortunate to have somebody lead me to a local university to capture a swarm in a tree. There happened to be two in the tree...one much smaller. Next day I answered another Facebook post and it was at the same place again. Turns out this one was spotted leaving the universities' local beekeeping club hives. I got a chance to meet a few of the members and tried to show them how to manage swarms on the campus so people don't get too mad at them, making a swarm pole, having a nuc box available, etc. They seem to be somewhat new to the whole beekeeping experience. Got to work this morning and while in a meeting got a call direct from the school this time to come pick up another, which I did over my lunch break. I'll try my hand at posting a link to a picture I took of the 3rd swarm I caught.https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=564227773694118&set=pb.100003207025098.-2207520000.1399317057.&type=3&theater
