jackg 7 Posted May 10, 2011 Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 My favourite way of popping a swarm into a hive! Note this is a very small swarm. Some would say a mini swarm. The other way is to remove two or three combs from the brood and upend the skep into the brood chamber. I helped my Father to collect a swarm in late April which had gathered on an umbrella shade in the local pub garden. One of the easiest to collect. Quote Link to post
