Sunwise Bees swarm!

Looks like one of our front bee boxes swarmed today.  Good sign of a healthy colony.  Think it's the small box.  Here they are circling, though rapidly settling down onto the hedgerow of the graden.  We'll see if we can get organized quickly enough to box them.  J Street Co-op needs a new swarm...

Bikers and runners have been passing with curious caution on the bike path, and Andy's already been notified and emailed the house.  Bee networks in action!

  2. Did they stick around on the dwarf pomegranate? That would be uncharacteristically convenient for them...

    I've got some vintage sunwise swarm videos here:
