So, I saw my first swarm this last weekend. This was a treat because I was told this was a primary swarm, meaning thousands of bees.
We were not sure at first if we got the queen, but by the way they were all rushing into the Nuc, we knew we had her. The great news is I only got stung once. Swarms are calmest during a swarm so with as many bees as there was I’m glad I only was stung once.
Now we are hoping they all stay in their new home and not swarm again.
