A message came in that there was an emergency at someone's house that has a young boy severely allergic to bees. The swarm just arrived and made its home in a decorative wine barrel on the porch near the front door. Oh the wonderful smell of that wine barrel :) what a great home! We got to the location a little later than we wanted due to road constuction. Got everyone that was still inside taped up and transported the barrel of bees to their new home. It was a huge swarm, I estimate 5-6 pounds of bees. I ended up giving them a double deep to keep them happy and luckily through that mess I was able to find the queen and cage her.
