September 24, 2020: Swarm Capture

We had a small swarm this morning.

We checked the hive where the swarm came from and determined it to be a natural split. The bees were working as normal with a few open and closed queen cells. There was no bug issue. We set up a new hive with combed brood frames and sugar water. The swarm left the tree and is now in the new hive. Jill is the bee whisperer.
