August Swarm - See the Queen at the end - Adventures In Beekeeping

Welcome to Adventures In Beekeeping.  My name is Dale and I am a second year beekeeper.  While pulling some honey supers in August, I heard a loud buzzing that started suddenly.  I looked up and there was a small swarm of bees in the tree above my head.  I cut the branch to get them to fall into a 5 frame NUC box.  They fell beside the box.  While trying to lure them in the box, they flew away back up into the tree.  I cut them down again.  I found the queen and put her in the NUC box.  The remainder of the bees moved into the box.  

Two day later I check to see if they were still in the NUC box.  They were.  It is a small colony but the queen looks good.  

There is some nice shots of the queen from the second day check at the end of the video, so keep watching to see here.
