Last weekend, I caught a very small swarm. Not typical for this time of year. Swarm season is May-June, typically. Placed the swarm in a box and left them alone until yesterday. Sure enough, one of my marked queens was in the box. At this point of the year, they don’t have the numbers or the resources to last through the winter. I will have to combine them with another hive and hope they make it through the winter.
