[quote=Edchris177]I thought I’d seen it all when a nest of just fledged purple martins landed on my sail & stays. Their housing is on my dock, & just after I left for a leisurely light wind cruise, they all launched from their house. The new fledglings, quickly tiring on their first flight saw something familiar, (they can see the boat from their gourd), & landed. I slowly went into irons, & after a brief rest they left.
The good thing about swarming honey bees is they are not aggressive, as they are not defending a territory.
A neighbor a few houses down the lake has bees. When they went to swarm, he simply walked out, sans any protective equipment, & “rounded them up”, & moved them into a new hive, which he relocated.
I know I would not be that cavalier.<!-- editby --><em>Edited by Edchris177 on May 05, 2021 - 02:32 PM.</em><!-- end editby --> [/quote]
