15 APR, 10:45 am - 2011

I received a phone call yesterday evening and was informed that a swarm had settled on some equipment at a Munical Airport where I live. I stopped by today at about 10:45 am today and found a swarm hanging from the equipment about two feet from the ground. I used 5 gallon bucket that was well ventilated and scooped most of the bees into it. I dumped that into a hive body and waited for the bees to settle down. I did that one more time and captured most of the bees. I brought the bees home to a spot in my backyard. I put a 1:1 sugar/water feeder jar on the hive and then secured the hive so the wind and weather would not disturb it.
