swarm-list Mailing List: Re: Swarm in Livermore in bush - east of Mines near Arroyo Seco - football size about 4 feet off the ground

[Joan Houston (beegeek]

I picked up the Livermore swarm just now. Apparently the poor bees were in the street getting run over most of the day before the caller contacted the club! Baseball-sized cluster on a branch ~3’H hiding in a bush. I lopped the branch and dropped into a nuc w/a couple mucky frames and a honey frame. I’ll check for a queen in tomorrow when it’s warm. Hopefully she didn’t become roadkill.
