A new swarm is found just a few feet away from our bee area on the hill.
John, Ken, and David are setting up the prototype wine barrel top bar beehive built by Nobuto.
Ken shows one of the beekeeping tools to the class.
Pruning the branches to get ready for capturing the swarm.
Brushing the bees off the tree branch into the bee box.
Almost done.
Getting ready to put the top on the bee hive to give the bees some privacy and some time to settle in.
Looks like the bees are staying so far.
