Bees bringing in the pollen on Saturday morning. I estimate between 100-120 bees per minute with pollen. That could be over 1.5 grams of pollen per minute or 500 grams in 6 hours. More than a pound of pollen and they work hours than that. That's based on them only carrying 15mg of pollen but I read they can carry 30mg.

I added some plates to attach the bottom board for moving the nuc hives around and to stack them 2 deep for normal or use as a bait hive. I also added a traditional 'looks like a tree hole' feature to the entrance, put a piece of corrugated plastic sheet under the cover so they can't glue it down, and used some canopy bungee cords to hold down the cover. It's baited up and 5 heavy waxed frames in the top box.

I made a deep Langstoth box, then I cut it in half and made two 5-frame nuc hives. 100% recycled wood except the frames shown. Painted with boiled linseed oil, the 'white' is zinc oxide mixed in, and the green is green iron oxide and zinc oxide mix. Migratory type covers, no inner. Cleat handles after it was painted so a dado could be cut so they could be glued. Glued and screwed throughout with some dowels to align the panel pieces. More in ALT.

The bees have mostly yellow pollen, and some bright orange and a mix of dirty colors but not a lot of that. The first drone bee spotted coming out of the West hive. A drone and a very light colored bee at the Center hive which has more darker bees. It really stands out.

@Pollinators I looked it up to be sure and it's the Lorenzo Langstroth's 1861 book Hive and the Honey Bee, which is the third edition. It was not in the first edition.
Copy of it here:

I made bee swarm bivouacs. It's an old branch with a black sock attached to piece of plywood. The sock is coated with dirty beeswax and some lemongrass oil added. I put them in the closest trees to the hives. I guess the idea it to make it look like cluster of bees so they gather up there if they leave MY hives, instead of 100 feet up in a tree, so they can be captured. It's mentioned in the 1861 Hive and the Honey Bee book by Lorenzo Langstroth.

I took the new hive and I divided it vertically to make two 5-frame bait hives. I had a deep sized divider so I just made another one with the ability for the upper one to slot into it. It should work and I can put frames in the lower box too if I want to keep it divided this way for longer.
Now we wait for warmer, drier, less windy weather.

The bait hive, or swarm trap, is set. Lemongrass oil put on the cotton ball in a little plastic bag and it hangs between the first two frames. I rub propolis on all the top bar sides, and I rub saved comb wax from hive inspections that hasn't been rendered on all the foundations. I don't have extra brood comb to use.
This sits at about eye level behind my hives under a little pine tree.

I spotted the first migratory hives across the river so I guess it's time to put out some bait hives / swarm traps. Looks like a stack of 8 hives. These are apples but I imagine the cherries down river probably have hives too since they'll be blooming first.

Asked by someone elsewhere... Any #beekeepers in Santa Barbara interested in a swarm?
"any leads to swarm /hive removal for free in DT Santa Barbara? Tried bee guild, beekeepers association, not having luck. Fir elderly neighbors, not me"
(will pass on the message)

Busy bees, April 4, 2025. Pollen going in and I see some drones at the Center hive. The hybrid willows are blooming and full of bees, and the Norway Maples, sarvis berries, peaches, and plum will be blooming in a few days probably.
