Our 1st swarm that got away

Well today is my last day of staycation, i have been off work for spring break all week. We decided to stay home and do some work around the house, we have our Flow Hive Brood box installed and are ready for our bees. While resting on the front porch of our 7 acre home i hear a swarm of bees. They landed in a Mesquite tree in our front yard, i have never seen a swarm close up, We geared up the best we could and tried to bag the bees. I guess we did not get the Queen, and only were stung 4 times. WOW that was so cool, now we will not be as afraid to try and catch our next one.Or maybee just buy one!
