Another swarm today. That's three in 6 days!

Is that part of your hive that swarmed, split from one of your hives, or a entire new colony?

They are entirely new.

Swarm #4 this week, showed up this afternoon. Different property where I've done two cutouts in the past. I knew this week would be epic... But wow

Nice photo! Cool that you can actually see/make out the eggs

We hired this guy as security for our hive.

This was 5am today.

Yeah, we have several new queens, some laying, some just mating. We have 10 colonies now and expect two more to arrive in the coming weeks

Looks like tomorrow I am doing a Langstroth to Layens transfer for a guy... I'll try to get photos. These can be exciting
