That is crazy, I have Winter rain and you have your 1st swarm. Have a good one Clueless.

It's not normal, not even for here... But---I have caught, here, central Texas, a swarm each month (not every year, but each month has been checked off for swarm catching). Yip all 12 months I've caught swarms. Still...this was an outlier. This has been an insanely wet & mild 'Winter.' Ya know...each swarm I catch I'm like a kid in a candy store... I even drove away and forgot my smoker. I had to turn around and retrieve it. It's always fun catching swarms! It never gets old! Cheers mate!

I know, right?! You know how, when it's a bit cool they constrict? This was a good solid 2 frames of bees, much more than I originally though. After I scooped them into the box I thought---damn, wow...lots-o-bees! I found the queen. I'll keep her little butt locked up for a few days.

@@sarashappyhives1828 Totally, but beginning in 2 or 3 days! ...but, I jammed a wad of very loose green grass in as a plug in her queen cage. They might remove her before her temporary exile. Hopefully they'll stay. Last year, I lost my 1st 2 swarms by NOT locking them in...I got cocky... "they'll stay..." Ya, right.
