The Swarming Season is over


The Swarming Season is over. Its been much busier than last year and again about half the calls were about bumblebees, wasps or solitary bees.
I think the main feature of the season has been the number of times the swarm swarmed again and not all were captured.
I will do a few things differently to try and prevent this happening next year.

As I was warned it's not easy to home the swarms so I have added more colonies to my collection.
It takes time for a swarm to get to a viable size and I have checked them all to see how prepared they are for surviving the winter.
