I have already taken mine down. Recently though. You'll have to feed the heck out of that swarm. I caught one in early July last year, clustered on a mail box that made it over the winter and has done fine. I had to feed them all summer but it was a tiny swarm and that didn't take much syrup to do. They'll probably need pollen sub too.

If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land. 2 Chronicles 7:14
