I’ve only received a few but myself and others have been busy collecting lots of swarms recently. Most beekeepers want to save the bees and do free honey bee swarm removals. On one day, I received 3 calls. One swarm was mine – the same one that swarmed the day prior (read: http://shadylanebees.com/better-swarm-yours/). The second swarm call came from Lisa at RoundTuit Farms. She was tired of catching swarms, so she called me about a swarm hanging off a post right on Highway 20 – just outside of Oak Harbor, Wa.
Sure enough, there they were. I hived them and went on to the third call. Unfortunately I was too late, that swarm moved on.
I was working bees that day from 11am to 8pm – but a great day it was!
