Time-lapse sequence showing a swarm moving into a top bar hive bait box (a small TBH of about 32 litres capacity).
This swarm landed on an acacia tree in Totnes market place on Friday 7th June 2013. About an hour later, it took off, flew over the buildings on the north side of the High Street and into this bait hive, which had some empty honeycomb in it.
