**Keeping Backyard Bees**

Keeping Backyard Bees is a joint effort by Mother Earth News and Grit magazines to create a hive mind of information on bees, beekeeping, pollen, hives, honey, and much more. Our audience may be seasoned beekeepers, interested in starting a hive, or just concerned about the well-being of bees and want to know how to help. You can make a difference, and we’re here to show you how.

Swarm Capture - Video May 14, 2018

Show notes

Watch as Editor Russell Mullin captures a swarm. Swarms take place when a hive has grown too large and splits in two. Then, a queen leaves the original hive with a number of worker bees.

Swarms don't stay like this for very long, so if you're interested in capturing one, you may only have a day or two at the most.
