We Caught a Swarm in Our Front Yard 

When we got home from shopping, we saw this swarm gathering in a camellia bush in our front yard. We quickly grabbed an empty swarm box and Roy was able to shake the bees into the box. Easy peasy!! Two days later, there was another swarm in the same bush. What the heck!?! It's only the first week of April, 2023.
We are practicing natural beekeeping methods using Layens horizontal hives that we built ourselves. To get a copy of the plans that we downloaded for free and used to build our swarm boxes, frames, horizontal hives and insulated horizontal hives, click here: horizontalhive...
