This same hive swarmed at the same degree days last year and it's not even the same bees unless the swarm I caught and put in the box was from there originally.
My bee log entry last night:
"Last year: April 23, 2025 107.4 + 184.9 = 292.3 Blossom degrees
Swarm day, West hive, might have been a fire drill,, but that meant queen flying.""Apr 18, 2026 Feb 8.5 + Mar 145.9 = 154.4 + 150.5 = 304.9 Blossom degrees"

One of the hives swarmed today and it was low enough in a tree I could catch it while standing 7 feet up on a ladder with a fiberglass pole I modified. Once most of the bees were caught the weight couldn't be held vertical and then I heard a crack from the pole I let it go and landed on my roof. I got them in an empty hive before dark.

The first scout bee observed at the bait hive. 15:53 local daylight time, 60F/15C, sunny, light breeze.
It was the only bee from 13:30 - 16:30. Weather is turning warmer so maybe there will be more activity in the coming week.

Almost all the spots in my greenhouse are planted now. We've been eating spinach, green onions and flat leaf parsley (well those all winter), radishes and little turnips for weeks now.
The hens are picking up the egg laying and the 6 new pullets are now fully integrated and peace is descending on the coop and run.
The bees are good with high quality pollen patties and some syrup to keep them going until all the dandelions and maple buds are out.
The garlic is huge and the shelling pea fence is up, just waiting for a warmer day to plant.
It's hella windy and I lit the fire again today but it feels good and spring-like outside.
The world is in chaos and yet She persists. Southern BC interior is beautiful.

The East hive. This would technically be the oldest hive since the OG queen moved here with a split, or maybe after I caught a queen wandering around after the split which I suspect was the old queen since I probably split them days before they would have swarmed or she couldn't fly good enough to swarm.. whatever, she was here and generally I'd say it's been the best hive but a bit swarmy. Lots of drones in this photo.
5/5 🏁

The White hive. Not much to say about it, I think it swarmed twice or more last year so I suppose it doesn't really have much character.
-
The Center hive. This hive always has lots of bees, and swarmed once last year so maybe the slight meanness of some bees went with that queen. It was like 1 of 100 bees would just hit you and sting you, no warning, when checking them.
-
The Green hive. This is the part of the split with the queen from the East hive. It's activity is picking up every day as more foragers take flight. They have a green 4 leaf clover and a water trough to help ID the hive and for other bees to see sooner it's not their hive. I noticed a lot of drift from other hives landing or almost landing before realizing it wasn't their hive.
-
The West hive. These bees seem to be smaller. They could just be young bees but I've seen the small ones bringing in pollen. They seem healthy and didn't have any issues over the winter. This was a swarm caught July 17 last year and combined here since this box had swarmed and I probably cleared out it's queen cell when checking things.

I put the swarm trap, bait hive, up today. There's commercial migratory bees in the area so that means it's time to catch someone else's bees, or my own. It's about 330 ft from the apiary, or 100 meters, but also close to where I plan on putting a hive to see how it does in slightly hotter temperatures since it will be above the cooler layer close to the water. It has 6 frames of old smelly comb in it this year.

The East hive has lots of bees and some queen cells and also some brood that hasn't hatched yet. This is all in the bottom box of a 2 deep box hive.
The hive split seems like it will be successful!
