Now there's a word you don't see everyday.The old timers would say the "normal" swarm will bivouac in sight of the parent hive.
Unless you are military.Now there's a word you don't see everyday.
It may have been random, but we had a swarm take residence in an old eucalyptus tree at our house which was at least 3 miles from any other hive around. We lived on a big, wide open, bare flat.doubtful swarms ever go more than 2 miles if that.
