swarming and splitting

[ryanissamson]

Hey all, a quick question: do members typically post on the site if they catch a swarm or split a hive and would like to give away/sell the bees?

I'm still feeling out if most of the members are keeping several hives or if there are a group of members who only keep one or two. Anyway, with moving into town in April, I'm getting a late start. I'm shooting to have my equipment ready to go moving into May.

Thanks for your post!

Here is a link to the swarm section of the forum:

I am trying to get more traffic to the forums and have started a thread with my swarm trapping efforts for this year. Please feel free to ask questions and post your thoughts.

Jerry Z. was catching swarms last year and helping new beeks get started. most of them gave him 40-50 bucks to cover gas etc. we will have to check with him to see about this year.
