Seeing that I had a still larger swarm, and one that did better, I am forwarding particulars, also enclosing a small photo of said swarm. They came out on June 26, and as it was impossible for me to shake the huge swarm into the hiving skep, I hung the latter, bees and all, in the tree after having filled it with bees.
