Swarm Capture #3

April 9th, this swarm was spotted on a sumac sapling along the edge of a hay field.

A honeysuckle vine had to be cut to allow for the bend.

A quick shake sent the bees into the box. Three frames had been removed.

Surveying the bees that stayed on the tree.

A couple squirts of sugar syrup.

The bees are settling into the box.
