Maddy and Tim Harland have a late swarm in the garden. Located in a small apple tree, they show how easy it is to shake a swarm into a box. Later that evening once the bees have settled, they seal the hive and take it to a neighbour's garden to transfer into a brand new home-made hive. Watch how bees follow their Queen into a hive and how easy it is to transport it. Is it worth catching such a late swarm? Take a look and find out!
