What does swarming look like?

Well, that was cool!
Thanks.
It's late and my computer's sound is attached to the deck speakers so I had the sound off, but I imagine the noise was deafening.

That looks like a gorgeous primary swarm....and they landed low! Tell me you shook 'em!!!

Don't worry, they are all sitting snug as bugs in their new hive. I have the feeder on them now. Last years swarm in Milwaukee was early july as well and they still haven't fully recovered, but they did survive the winter. Since I haven't seen any indication of goldenrod yet I assume they will be able to build up alright. I checked my existing hives... these were not mine

Nice video. Thanks for sharing it.

Nice video, and congrats on grabbing the swarm! My hive swarmed yesterday, but only traveled about 20 feet or so, and landed in a young, short tree, so I shook them into a hive box and now have two. SO happy that we happened to be there when they swarmed!
