"Capturing A Swarm In Our Apairy!"

Our own honey bees decide to swarm into a tree!

My husband, deWayne and our son, Michael,
quickly assembles several pvc pipes with duct tape, and attaches it to a bucket. 
How would we live without duct tape?

deWayne making the final adjustments...

Here we go!  This is much harder than it looks, I promise!

Easy does it, I can't believe he is actually able to reach it!


Job well done! 
All bees removed from tree, brought to the ground, and relocated into a nuc.  (small five frame hive box)
