1st State Honey

05/08/2026

I came across this again while registering our colonies.
It was our previous Apiary featured along with others on the State of Delaware Educational videos by Emily Wine.

Delaware’s State Apiarist reviews best practices for suburban and urban beekeepers to maintain good relationships with neighbors.

I came home to swarm #2 today.
I found the queen in all the mess and stuck her in a queen cage to keep them locked in the box.
Swarm Commander for the Win.
Thank you Blythewood :)

Hope everyone had a great weekend.
Mine started Friday with coming home to a small swarm on our Apple tree.
Needless to say they're in a box - and checked on them yesterday and they are still with us.
How many more are we going to catch :)
I have 2 swarm traps baited with Swarm Commander ( from Blythewood Bee supply ) we picked up at NAHBE this year.
I will let you know if it works :)
* Sorry no photos of the capture but it was around 2 pounds if I had to guess.
