Got a call about a swarm near my apiary. I drove over to check it out and saw a lot of bees, so I headed back home and loaded up all my swarm-catching gear. Suit, boxes, tools—the whole arsenal. I was ready to bring them to a new home 🐝💪
After a closer inspection, the “swarm” turned out to be nothing more than a bunch of thirsty honeybees gathered around water trapped in some plastic covers. No swarm, no battle—just a bee watering hole.
You can’t win them all, but every call is worth checking. Better to be prepared and find thirsty bees than miss a real swarm.
Honeybee hideaway Out!
