My first swarm catch of 2020, thanks to a message on the Nextdoor website. Very small in size, but did not required a ladder. I brought sugar water in a spray bottle, but I changed my mind and simply transferred snipped-off twig with bees into 5-frame nucleus box. As is typical, not all the bees went into the box so I left the nucleus box there till sunset for a complete catch. This Betterbee Nucleus Box ships with a Hive Portal which contained the bees for the drive home.
