Swarms seem larger this year

Shannon from Kamo

Not sure what others have found but this Spring the bee swarms seem larger in size than other years.
The picture is of one on Corks Road that covered 13 frames.

If they are flying through the air, you can try to make them land by banging a pot with a hammer, or something like that. The clanging noise apparently simulates thunder, and they land because of it. I don't know whether it actually works, having never done it myself - it may just be an old wives' fable. But worth a try, nevertheless!
