The title was hilarious!!! If you want to see a grown man pee in his pants, put me right in the middle of the swarm.
One question, the swarming means, that there is another elected queen ready to settle somewhere else, right? (edit: I just read again, you were talking about it already, my bad!!!)
It's my next step, the bee hive. Soon, when SHTF, and we all will be very happy to find honey!!
Happy homesteading to you, hope things are getting a lil better!
