[Mike a]

First one is the huge swarm in Whiteley. Although it took two days to collect it successfully.

Second Video
Not 100% sure exactly how many queens in total but at least it was at a good height.

Compared to your last swarm Veg yep, very easy although it took some to convince the home owners to let me cut some of their hedge back to make it easier to collect.

Just me there most of the time so if I had said it out loud it would of been wasted... I still would love to know what the parent hive is I guess it must be a double langstroth deep or jumbo hive to throw a swarm that big.
