Luvachicken Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 Wow, that's a fab photo. What a lot of bees. I wonder how noisy they were ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purplemaniacs Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 Wow what a fantastic photograph. DD saw and heard a swarm in their village and a week or so ago there was one in one of the other Rutland villages. Chrissie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daphne Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 Fab picture That's the classic swarm pose - the idea is that you knock them off neatly into a box (!), mind you it would have to be quite a big box, it looks a large swarm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 Great photo - and that is a prime swarm, lucky beekeeper! I usually use a 12-bottle wine box but I think he or she would have needed something large to hold that lot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
