Honey Bee Scouting Behavior+Actual Swarm May 9 2019

I began this video for those of you who want to learn about swarms. Specifically what the behavior of "scout bees" that are sent out by a honey bee swarm that is looking for a new home looks like. I was able to video scouting activity, and within an hour the actual arrival of the swarm at one of the traps I had set out. This swarm was an interesting to to me because it was the first time I was able to spot the queen on the front of the trap, catch, mark, and return her to the swarm I caught in my trap. This was also my first swarm capture for 2019.
