It's swarm time and the calls are starting to come in! If you haven't checked your hives recently, your bees have been making plans behind your back! With 70 degree days coming up, this weekend they'll be on the move.

Give them some space, consider making a split, whatever option you like to use to keep those bees in their box, especially if you live in town.
