Knowing we already had bees in our back yard, we got a call from a friend for help removing a swarm in the woods behind his house. Over last winter, a tree had fallen and the hive survived in the fallen tree. But needing to clear the area he asked if we could remove the swarm and take them to our yard.

Early this spring, we placed a hormone lure and the hive only briefly responded. Not moving to the nuc we had placed near the hive, we brought out the trusty Bee Vac which helped relocate them.

This spring we were able to relocate the large, healthy hive and its queen to our small apiary. They are thriving still as we approach harvest time!
