Friends got a call on a swarm that landed on the side of a brick apartment building. They asked if we wanted it (sure!). I am still suffering from vertigo, so I wasn't as exact on the video as I could have been.
Right now we have three colonies that were queenless and we are trying to integrate a queen by adding a frame of eggs (the queenless colony creates a queen from the batch of eggs). I was hoping to make that video on the follow up today, but it rained all morning. Maybe tomorrow. Here is the video we shot today (and no, she asked me if I had a bee jacket on - I didn't):

Happy to answer any questions - either here or on youtube.
