Hiving the Swarm

Well, I was disappointed for a while that we didn't get to collect the swarm, then it turns out that it was a school playground. I know they can be about as gentle as they come, but I'm pretty sure the current Laurel and Hardy of the beekeeping world would have found some way to wind them up.

I did at least remember to take up the camera, unfortunately the location of the hive didn't really lend itself to letting them walk up the ramp and looking at them, there aren't a great deal of bees in the box so they might yet end up boosting the two smaller hives.
