Swarm Season Started Today

[steveinpa]

I just put this one out this morning around 10:30.  I've been trying to not put it out because a coworker comes by the location 1x per month and I wanted to wait until after his visit.  Even though I've told him about my traps in the past, he is a drama queen and would probably make an issue of it if he saw a swarm.  Thank goodness he wasn't there today.  

This is what I saw around 3:30 when they were still moving in.  I'm going to pick it up tonight after dark.

Very cool Steve, they sure are collecting there.

Nice! I bet they're as happy to find a good home as you are to provide one!

Wow - that's pretty wild there steveinpa!
Really enjoyed watching your video - twice now.

Haha, that's funny.  No, mine wear facemasks.

I caught another one today in a different spot.  I'm up to 3 for the year so far.  I really needed them with all the bear losses in my colonies.
