Catching A Wild Bee Swarm

We were lucky enough to notice when a swarm was moving in to the trap behind our house, and caught the whole process on video!

I did this again this year about a month ago. I heard the swarm land in one of my apple trees and caught and installed them in an empty hive. It’s always nice to get free bees and give a swarm a home.
Yesterday I put the second large super on, they’re doing great. About 8/10 frames full of brood, pollen, or honey in the first super. I may get a third shallow box on this year at this rate.
