    Has anyone had a bee swarm on their property that they have 'hived' to keep?

    We have a sizeable one and wouldn't mind a bee hive on the property.

    Any tips?

    How will you purchase Alexa if you can't tell Alexa to add Alexa to the shopping list?

    Smother yourself in honey then stand in the middle of the paddock. Works a treat.

    Is he going to store it on your farm ? We had the same thing happen but we already had three hives so the beekeeper took it away . I think he killed the queen and gave the hive one of his queens .

    He will take it. I was thinking of keeping it but we are selling this farm shortly so don't want the hassle of moving it
