We missed our first hive swarming. So we're keeping an eye on this one:
Today, my dad was out weed-whacking and found this. I'm so glad it was low!
What did we do? Well, I got the shears and Chris got a nuc box with three frames. We just slid the box underneath it and clipped the branches. We also added a frame with brood from another hive in the hopes to keep them there. (Start to finish, no protective gear, 8 minutes and back to work-from-home!)
When it is dark tonight, we will move it into the apiary to protect them from the bear!
