Sarah yelled the bees are swarming. I watched and stalked them as they buzzed 3 yards over and settled in a tree. I cut a few branches and gave it a good shake and got a bunch of bees into the Nuc. Then continued to transfer then over, by hand, frame, shaking and some waiting. Got about 95% or more in the Nuc with 5 medium frames closed it up and brought it home.
Tonight we plan to move the frame and bees to a medium super with sugar solution (cooling now). We'll block the hive entrance for a few days then let the out to orient.
