Small swarm near Lake Temescal.  Great if you need a queen but don’t want a full colony.  

Pretty sure it is from a hive I have a couple houses down which is a super productive even keeled colony.  I collected a swarm from this location a couple days ago and suspected there were multiple queens, which makes sense since this clump of bees has been there since last weekend.  

Thanks,

Gabriel
