A New Hobby

Todd decided he wanted to add a few more more beehives to our property.  He decided to collect swarms. Here is a swarm up in a tree.

Todd puts on his bee suit.

Carries a box up the ladder into the tree.

Sweeps the bees into the box with a broom.

Closes the box.

Puts the box into the back of the truck and drives home.

He puts a new beehive box out.

And pours the swarm into its new home.

He collected 4 total swarms this spring for a total of 5.  More honey this fall!
