Swarm Catch

I was called out to the back property behind the campus. Anecdotal evidence calimed that there was a hive located somewhere in a pile of logs. Tree clearing personal would not move the logs because of the swarm of bees. I spent two days looking but could not find any signs of the bee colony. Either the Colony left or maybe they were never bees.

Hive Inspections

16 Hives with Queens.

One of the Nuc hives collapsed. Not sure what happened. The numbers of dead bees is significant. The entire hive just seemed to die. Loads of honey was present and sugar supplements. Added sugar to tops of hives as needed.
