This might be one of the most exhilarating things Iβve ever done. Caught my first swarm today π

Awesome π 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 didnβt stay.
Iβve got the catching part down. Just need to get the keeping part sorted.
A wildly fun activity even though it was unsuccessful.
