Little Swarm from Iola
Today I received a call from the Pontius' near Iola regarding a bee swarm that came out of their house and settled on a small branch in their yard. Elijah and I headed out into the land of no cell service to find their farmstead and the small swarm. I didn't use the vacuum but cut the branch and shook them into a travel nuc. I then allowed the remaining bees to walk into the nuc before shutting it up. Since they were small I decided to set them up in a regular nuc box in the back yard where I could feed and tend them a little more closely to help them make it.
