One of our hives in Longmont swarmed last night. We checked them last week and must have missed a queen cell. It was a massive swarm and late at night so we did a different kind of collection. We knocked them into a sheet and had them walk into their new home. It worked and they are now happily by our barn.

There were so many bees we ended up having to add a second box for them to fit. It was an adventure and they are now happily by our barn in a new home.

Tonight we moved four hives back to Red Wagon Farms. This year we have two hives in Longmont, two on Gapter rd in Boulder, 4 at Red Wagon Farms and 3 at our house in Boulder. Huge thank you to to the amazing and very kind farmer who hosts our hives. If you are looking for an amazing farmer to support, stop by his farm stand and make sure to say thank you to him for helping the bees!
