While working on my macro video series, of honey bee behaviors, my colony of bees suddenly decided it was time to swarm out.
So, I just grabbed another camera and decided to video the event for you. From swarming out, to landing on a nearby tree, to re-hiving them in a 10 frame deep box.
I hope you enjoy this, they are all doing fine and have accepted the box. It was ready for them with 10 frames of drawn out comb so the queen can go straight into laying and the workers have room to store resources.

The Observation Hive retained enough workers to continue their growth. The Queen hatched within 30 hours of the swarm departure and she is currently roaming the observation hive and
getting acquainted with all of the workers before taking her virgin flight which I expect to happen within the next 48 hours.
There are enough workers in the 8-frame observation hive to
continue to thrive with the new queen. Some brood is still hatching out and we will be about 2-3 weeks without new brood hatching in the interim.
At summer's end, I will be uploading my macro interior sequences for your viewing and learning pleasure.
Thanks as always for watching and sharing about the ever-fascinating honey bee.
