Last week we found a big swarm( 2kg) in our garden in bush a 10m from the nearest hive. First reaction, its one of ours got loose. That was odd since only the smaller colonies had had swarm cells recently. After the weekly inspection we couldnt see any significant number of bees missing. We dont think we are near any other apiaries. Nearest we know is more than 1km. We are stumped as to the origin of this swarm.
The swarm is a good one. It set to drawing all of the frames simultaneously. We are looking to put a super on it this evening...
