Caught swarm re-swarmed???
I'm in NE TN, USDA zone 6a, and caught a swarm on April 3rd in an evergreen tree near my driveway. In typical springtime fashion, my apiary was filling up fast so I left them near the driveway and affectionately refer to them as my driveway bees. Well, this swarm proceeded to draw out 10 frames of foundation and draw out my Ross Rounds super too. Much to my surprise, the driveway bees swarmed yesterday, May 10th, 37 days later. Is this some kind of World Record? Should I be impressed by the queen's fecundity or pinch her little head off and requeen????
