Sarah Heckles 🧅Swarm season! 💛 My favorite time of the year. <br> <br> First of 2025, a beautiful 10-20,000 honeybee swarm cluster on my friend’s cherry tree. <br> <br> I rigged this slick bucket on a swiveling extending pole a year ago which works so well, and is an upgrade to previous season’s bucket, duct tape on bamboo pole. <br> <br> But, major equipment <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/fail?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fail</a> yesterday. After swarm of honeybees was in bucket, bucket disengaged from pole. Result? A cascading waterfall of bees. 🙈<br> <br> Plan B. Up close and personal via ladder with bucket in hands. Went up three times to get all of them!<br> <br> Such a great day.
