hi guysI'm in TAS, Australia.
We collected a swarm from a shearing shed wall day before yesterday, couple of kilo's of bees, they'd started making some comb having been there a week.
We did the removal on dusk and they seemed to be quite settled. reasonably calm for ferals, too.
got a call this morning saying "maybe you didn't get all the bees!?"
I asked if it looked like a couple of left overs that were late flying back to the nest, but they said it looks the same as it did before...
The swarm season is starting late this year as we have had a dry season. I'm really hoping that they are correct and it's a whole new swarm - and that I might have found a sweet spot!
