This might be one of the most exhilarating things I’ve ever done. Caught my first swarm today 🐝

Awesome 😁 I want to do this, too!

Did you use some kind of smell attractant? How are they doing?

They had swarmed onto a fence post. I just scooped them up with my hand into the box.

The queen was in box and I gave them 20 min to all go quietly in with her but unfortunately they didn’t stay.

I’ve got the catching part down. Just need to get the keeping part sorted.

A wildly fun activity even though it was unsuccessful.

Sometimes they just want to keep moving

I can understand that
