Hi Jonny,
Glad to hear they have settled after a boisterous start!
I did not weigh the box this time, but it was a big swarm! Certainly, my
largest to date.
Hopefully another swarm in the next few days as the weather improves.
Kerry

Yeah - I know - we thought it was a good size - it’s happy and settled which is
objective number 1 !
I didn’t weigh Kerry’s - just to the eye it was several times as many bees.
Also all settled into their new digs

I’m glad the hiving went well, Jonny. I’m surprised you say the cast swarm from
me was small. It weighed 930g, which I thought was quite big for a cast swarm.
Was Kerry’s swarm so enormous that it made mine look small? 😅 Kerry, did you
weigh your swarm? I wonder what the largest swarm is that’s been caught in this
group over the years? 🤔

A happy hiving for me too today - swarm from Paul and Lynne.
I’m not looking for any more swarms myself, though I may be on the donating
side of things before long, if my other colony swarms and I don’t miss it.
Very happy to assist others when I can. I’m not ready for swarm season to be
over for me yet, it’s too much fun.
Thanks all,
Robin

a comment or two - Paul
Hi. I hived 2 swarms this evening - I had planned to walk them in but in the
end it was really windy around the house - so I shook them in instead as I
didn’t want them to spend a second night boxed up. [Paul: very wise. Walking
them in is fun, but things can go wrong, so in poor weather it is best to pop
them in as fast as possible. The wind today, and predicted rain tomorrow will
be a big incentive to stay rather than abscond!]
The cast swarm from Juli was actually quite small - very docile and quiet.
They went into the hive and only now - an hour or so later are they venturing
outside.
The prime swarm from Kerry was huge & very boisterous and noisy. They were
building comb in some quantity in the 24 hours they were in the swarm box.
They took longer to settle and at one point I thought they were absconding
(could I have lost the queen !?!?!?). In the end they have now settled down
too. We think this swarm is descended from a swarm I gave Kerry in 2019.
Fingers crossed they are happy.
Thanks to Kerry and Juli for catching and donating. And to Paul and Lynne for
the list in the first place.
Cheers. Jonny
