My 1st Colony of Bees


So here is the cluster that I caught yesterday.
It was located right across the street from my front door.
I have been contemplating keeping bees for about 3 or 4 years now and finally worked up the nerve to do it this year. I had planned on purchasing a package of bees from a place in Vacaville and driving them home in a couple weeks when lo and behold this swarm showed up as if to say "Melissa...we're here...where's that new hive of yours?"
