Well, bees seem to be "in the air" today everywhere! Helped my son capture ANOTHER swarm this morning, about 9:00A, and then about an hour ago, I made a walk-a-bout, and danged if there wasn't another swarm in the cedar trees! That's 4 swarms in about a 10 day period. We are as sure as we can be that they aren't coming from our hives "splitting-off", and have no clue where they ARE coming from! Seems as fast as I build some boxes, he's filling them with captured swarms. These were all fairly large swarms, too! Now, if they just make it through the winter, I'll have LOTS of honey for my oatmeal!....Arlyn
