It was the same house we caught two at last Friday night. They have a huge oak tree and there is a colony living inside of it. It is spinning of swarms. The swarm was smaller - maybe 1,500 bees and it landed on the end of a small branch on a small Japenese Maple. The weight of the swarm bent the branch where the 18 inch cluster of bees was about four inches off the ground. Lifted the branch up, slid the box underneath, let the branch down, quick shake and done.
Wonder if this will be the last one or if they will call us back. Been a fun few days. Swarm season is the best! But I am running out of boxes...
