Swarm Season Has Started
Quote from jacobs on March 8, 2017, 10:22 AMWe got word from Alamance County (Burlington area) that a club member there picked up a swarm Monday. I am seeing drones flying from all of my stronger hives. It is only a matter of time.

Quote from kenedmonds on March 14, 2018, 8:22 AMHas anyone heard anything about swarms this year, last year it seemed to start early, but I wonder if it will be delayed because of the persistent cold and rain. My girls are out anytime the weather allows, but I haven't seen any drones yet. I haven't been able to get into my hives yet to see what is happening.
