A fellow beekeeper a few blocks away called me and told me her carniolan hive had swarmed. In her neighbor's backyard the swarm landed about twenty feet up in a crab apple tree. We cut the limb, put the bees in a box, and I hived them in my vacant hive. This is the first time I've done this, and I hope I got the queen. Not only that, I hope they set up housekeeping. The pictures show the swarm (poor, blurry picture) and the remnant branches and empty box next to the hived bees.
