Received a message today saying there's a swarm nearby and I'm going to collect tonight around 9pm.
So with all the Dirt Rooster and JP Beeman videos I watched I guess I just go down in jeans and a T shirt and pick them up with bare hands?
Jokes! I'm taking everything I can think of and more:
Nuc box with lid and roof, stuffing for the entrance. 6 frames foundation
Appropriate clothing
Plenty of nitriles
Smoker plus fuel
Queen clip, Queen marking cage, butler cage (anything queeny)
Bee brush
Wife
Do I need some feed ready for them when they get home?
Anything else?
