swarm-list Mailing List: Pic of swarm collection in San Leandro on picket fence

[Liz Griffiths (lizziesque]





Here’s a pic for news swarmers who haven’t collected bees from a fence yet. They marched right on to the frame as Paula very gently raised it up to collect them. The clusters between the posts on the other side were collected in a 32oz yogurt container squeezed to fit in the space between the posts.

These gals were hungry and made straight for the part of the frame with some nectar stored.
