swarms
wd:
I noticed a small swarm today with out any means of capture. I'm passing through. thought I'd take a moment to mention it here, if anyone happened to be in the area or nearby and interested.
they just took off as I was typing this. they were at http://nyackshell.com in a dirt parking area behind the shell station off to the right on the east side of the dirt lot towards the back.. can't post a pic.. too big

I'll try to post a pic of this way

who knows where they went I wonder if they're close by and if they'll be more in the area?

WD, to bad you didn't have a printing paper box handy, they work well for emergency swarm capture boxes. Simply stab several holes in the top and sides for ventilation so the bees wont overheat on the way home. I keep one in my vehicle all the time for such opportunities, one of those folding ladders would be nice too but i don't have one.

I'm not in the position to do much, I was passing through, stopped there to get some sleep. shortly after I woke up the swarm said hello.

I would have liked to have had them. To far away.
