Lost and Found

So I lost half my Thistle hive to swarming, not to mention a very good and productive queen. However, I didn't lose them for long! I found them! They were hiding in this bush about 30 feet from the original hive! This is actually right where my neighbor noticed the high bee activity. Brandon is pointing out the swarm's hiding spot:

Oh? You don't see them? How about now?

  

Still don't see the bees? Try again:

Here they are!

I estimate there is about 1 deep super full of comb built onto the fence. This is no longer a swarm since the bees have started building comb. I guess my swarm left, found this fence and decided to stay! Lucky me! Now I'll just grab them and make that third hive I was talking about :)
