I saw this #bee swarm today so I put it in a hive.

I haven't had bees for 15 years and never captured a swarm before. They were mostly peaceful.

For other bee keepers... I have no idea what I'm doing so this is what I did:

Cut the swarms branch into a 27 gallon bin. My wife filmed me. She said "this is so I have something to show them at the hospital".

Put the branch and bees into a hive.

2 deep supers... didn't have foundation so there are just frames in them. I figure the bees know what to do.

Then a medium super in top with no frames... the bees were on a branch so I dumped the branch into the medium on top. Should I fish that branch out in a few days?

Anyway... nice surprise ending to the day!
