There once was a Walnut tree |
That was in fact a Bee Tree |
That had Swarmed this very morning |
So the local beekeeper clipped the swarm down |
and placed it in a borrowed Nuc box |
Where the Queen felt right at home |
and they all lived happily ever after |
The End

Awesome!
Your the best beekeeper ever!
Thank you Suzy! You're the best too!
So you got your swarm back? That is amazing. Nice save and a wonderful story.
Sa-weet looking bees, Hemlock! I caught a swam on Wednesday morning. I got a call that a swarm landed on a property line stake in Danville, Virginia. So I made the trip, put them on a nuc on the property, and picked them up Wednesday night. I plan to put them in a permanent box on Thursday! Gotta love some free-bees!
love the ending :)
immwia,
Actually these are NEW bees!. I did catch Myrina's swarm though. That post is here http://beavercreekbees.blogspot.com/2011/05/caught-em-sort-of.html
Mark,
Lets here it for free bees! Danville huh, I need to get back down there to get nuc for these bees but they're out right now.
Moon Skin,
Glad you liked it. If these bees can survive Winter to become a full hive next year their name will be Mab.
