Here is the small swarm hanging on a branch about 50 feet from the mother hive.
Terry & Larry are getting ready to shake the bees into the traveling nuc box.

Terry Hopper Swarm
Today, Dawn & I received a call from my old friend Terry Hopper who reported a small swarm from his wild bee hive in a tree on his property. So, before dinner we drove out to check it out. After a few minutes of discussion and pursuation I had Terry suited up to capture his first hive of bees.

Thank you for making the topic of bees SO interesting. You gave a great demonstration during the "Ag in the Classroom" tour in June. I will be incorporating many aspects of this topic into my elementary lessons for years to come.
