Yaz,

If you ever see it again, call me I'll come get them. Swarms are really docile since they don't really have anything to defend. I've seen videos of folks sticking their bare hand in the middle of them. I'm not that brave smile

76Chevy, I have 1/3 of an acre in the burbs of Indy as you know. I currently have 2 hives and a nucleus hive and will get another this weekend. That's as many as I want. Any more splits will go to my brother. I worked on my wife for a bit and then got a maybe. That was good enough for me smile She wasn't terribly happy when I came home with the receipts for a $500 starter kit! She now loves the bees though.
