Caught our first 2020 honeybee swarm. Good times! Link for those interested...
2,000 to 3,000 bees in a cherry tree, about 9 feet up. It was a bit awkward and the branch was large, so it was difficult to get a good shake. Bees are home on my deck. My favorite part of beekeeping...and the bonus is the majority of swarms die, so by rescuing them, their chance of survival is significantly improved.
