Swarm calls continue, but…..featured
Two requests for help yesterday, but challenging removals. Both are well-established colonies, one having been an attempted trap-out by another beek (with no success) and a second one established in a sycamore tree, which has been active for years.
Swarm settling in a new homefeatured
Honey bee swarm captured from southside Bethlehem and hived in a new home in the bee yard.
Open-air Colony Formingfeatured
A somewhat rare occurrence about 12 miles north of me. Probably a swarm which landed on this branch and couldn’t reach a consensus as to picking a new sheltered home, so they started constructing comb. Not a good prospect for long term survival, as they are exposed to the elements and predators.
