Yes, another swarm from the 'old' hive. This was the third afterswarm. The 'new' hive has only swarmed once, so five swarms in total. We are actually not running out of hives as they keeping combining with the bees in the TBH. Today, they swarmed out, never formed a cluster and eventually went into the TBH. It was really strange. This evening there was still piping coming from the old hive, so I expect they will swarm again tomorrow. The new hive is quiet.
wow, another swarm. what is this five? what happened, did you hive it. know you are running out of boxes. alan
