I actually witnessed the swarm starting and sorta finish.
Was opening some fresh splits when it started to sound like an airplane was in my yard. When I turned to go in the air was full of bees! When 15mins later the bees where gone and I had a new colony in my forsthyia bush.

I'm not ready for that yet. I don't have extra equipment.:ws: Did you catch the swarm?

If you don't have a proper box in which to hive a swarm just use whatever is available. Just think about the crazy places from which we retrieve swarms; meter boxes, barbeque grills, tires, etc.

I was thinking about an extra hive or nuc to give the swarm a home. My boss at home has me too busy working on our home to work on homes for bees.

I try to always have a empty hive at my house in case a swarm happens unexpectedly. Bottom board, deep, 10 frames with foundation and top cover. All it needs is bees.

Heck ya but I have 32 nuc boxes (half full) so I'm over prepared.
