Swarm Capture in Mount Plymouth

I’ve been really fortunate to have captured several bee swarms lately. Swarming is normal bee behavior, and if the bees can be collected they can be moved into a hive box and used to expand a beekeeper’s bee yard. Here’s a two-minute video of my latest capture, a super-easy job because the bees had thoughtfully moved into a birdhouse, so I was able to take them down from the tree while they were in the box and then move them while I was on the ground, rather than the ladder.
