It WORKED– Using My PULLEY SYSTEM & Installing My FIRST CAUGHT SWARM! 🎉

“It’s getting busy at the hive.”

Not to nitpick, but technically it’s a swarm trap. But that’s not the point…

The point is that I got the message I had been waiting for– a swarm took up residence in one of my swarm traps!! ¡Celebración!

The pulley system (linked below*) that I came up with made getting it down a breeze, and then I transferred the swarm into the umbrella hive the next day!

Check out how it all went down…
