 Anyone else ever notice that swarms seem to take up the same perches year
 after year?

Tim,

I pulled three swarms off the same branch two years ago, with the last swarm
resulting in my cutting the branch off.  I then got two more swarms from
bushs/trees on either side of this bush/tree.  They all were in a large
privet hedge.  I had one hive that swarmed I believe 7 times that year.  We
were out of town for about 3 weeks and the fellow I had watching them didnt
come over as previously agreed apon. This all happened in about a 2 week time
period to boot.
