Pete
what happened to your smoker?
FireKitty:
Dumb question, is it too late for me to put my name down in local group to capture a swarm? When does this generally end here in AUS?
Jow4040:
It ends about now.
jayj200:

Stumpkicker:
It's a second hand story, but Dad said one of his hives swarmed and landed on the end of a bamboo stalk, about 8m up.
He managed to get it back in a box by putting a ladder up as high as he could, attached a rope and then put the rope through a pulley on another stalk near by.
He then cut the stalk half way through from the back and lowered it with the rope to 6' and shook them into a box.
Fairly easy recovery after what initially would of looked near impossible.
Regards Kel
