a Aaron Morris question...
So why such a small swarm? Tortilla size, perhaps an
inch thick. Any SWAGs out there?
I will give it two stabs in the dark. 1) it is an absconding swarm that originated from a hive with little to no food resources or 2) a reproductive swarm where by the brood nest was restricted to one frame and on either side a solid frame of CAPPED honey and or a solid frame of pollen.
swag... I have not seen that jargon in a while.
