Downtown Swarm Trap...Another Free Hive! Collecting a succesful swarm trap in downtown Cincinnati
After picking up swarm #1, swarm #2 showed up in the same spot a day later!
Always good when a plan comes together: retrieved a swarm in Roselawn tonight that had taken over a shade umbrella. The homeowner had me take the whole umbrella away, which I used as a nice insulating cover for some nucs I made up yesterday. Hopefully it will get them through this late cold snap.

Either I'm joining Daft Punk or... it's grafting day! This is the earliest I've ever tried this, but there are drones in the hives, the flowers are blooming, and most importantly, I have the week off!
Drones in the hives, queen cups built, a few reports of swarms already coming in... that mild winter is pushing things forward a bit this year! Might be doing grafting sooner than I thought.
