swarm-list Mailing List: Re: Swarm in one of my hives in East Oakland

[seh-reum (universaltideshifter]

The swarm has has landed up in a tree maybe 20 ft high in front of our house 

We have our bait hive set up and sprayed some lemongrass oil on it and are giving a little time for the small clusters to settle into one but if you are available would love some support as it's my first time doing this! Jerry recommended taking a look at the parent hive and seeing what to do with the queen cells to prevent another swarm which I don't really know how to do yet either

Hi everyone this is Seh-reum who reached out a little while back about moving a hive here to our home. We did so successfully at the time and the hive has been doing well so far but this morning began swarming. We do already have another setup ready to receive new bees, but as I have never caught a swarm before I would love support from anyone available!
