Caught a swarm.....

Neighbours wife came by today at noon, her husband called her to ask her to come over and tell me there was a swarm of bees near his office in town. So I geared up, went to town, and the swarm was sitting on the bottom of a Japanese maple bush. Easy capture, lay on my back, lift up the box, and push them in.
I've hived them and we'll see how they do.
