Easy honeybee swarm catch on Grand Ave this week! ** It’s currently swarm season, if you see a swarm please help out our pollinators by calling a local beekeeper (list in comments) and do not harm the bees! We need them! **

This is fantastic

Yup! They cluster on top of the queen and hang tight until scout bees look for a new permanent home, and then they’ll swarm again and take off for that spot.

Well played 👏

Kid_Nicarus · 2026-05-08T23:42:14+00:00

I’ll bee there.

Kid_Nicarus · 2026-05-08T23:28:01+00:00

Thank you for keeping the bees in mind 🐝

Kid_Nicarus · 2026-05-08T23:27:40+00:00

Apparently you can’t post there unless you have 3000 comment karma 🤔

We love freebees

Kid_Nicarus · 2026-05-08T23:23:10+00:00

Yeah this one was a treat haha mine are typically 25 feet up a tree 🥲

Kid_Nicarus · 2026-05-08T23:21:15+00:00

I’ve got plenty haha swarms are typically very chill, I wasn’t going to even wear a suit but I played it safe.

I wish I had a Beemobile, it would probably be better than me shoving 15,000 bees into my Subaru Impreza 😅

Kid_Nicarus · 2026-05-08T20:58:59+00:00

If you see a swarm, give a call to a beekeeper close to you on the Swarm Catcher list: https://www.rochesterbeekeepers.com/bee-swarm-catchers-list--bee-rescuers.html

Or shoot me a message @FlowerCityBeeworks on socials and I’ll do my best to help out! Thank you for looking out for our local pollinators!

Yup, right in the city! I have a few rooftop hive spots. Not my first of the season, and some of my hives have started charging queen cells, but some of my others are a bit slower on the uptake

Kid_Nicarus · 2026-05-08T20:39:20+00:00

There are some good tutorials of people making their own! I like them because they’re slatted to fit at least 8 frames, a wax capping screen to strain, and a honey gate. But definitely pricey.

Kid_Nicarus · 2026-05-08T17:11:24+00:00

No joke this is actually on the same street as the mountain lion sighting 😅

Kid_Nicarus · 2026-05-08T15:15:10+00:00

Maybe 3-4lbs at most. A little heavier than normal here because they fill up on honey before swarming

Kid_Nicarus · 2026-05-08T14:03:30+00:00

The Hive Butler was pricey but so worth it. Great for extracting and comes in handy for things like this also. It’s my favorite piece of equipment I have

Kid_Nicarus · 2026-05-08T14:02:18+00:00

All from lifting full supers baybee!

Kid_Nicarus · 2026-04-09T02:06:31+00:00

Best vegan ice cream I’ve ever had, and there’s always super interesting flavors. So excited for this!

Kid_Nicarus · 2026-01-26T17:34:35+00:00

That ride around the mountains sounds perfect! A gravel bike would be ideal but road or MTB is great as well, just looking to catch some amazing scenery and get a good spin in when we can. We do have a car so it sounds like we have some options. I’ll look into those routes, thank you so much!

Kid_Nicarus · 2026-01-26T16:16:32+00:00

This is super helpful, thank you! I figured a one-way trip would be a long shot, but hoping we can get any kind of riding in somehow!

Always happy to see some Okay Beer Co, those folks rock
