[Shannon Baptista (roguebat1969]

Good morning,

  I live in Castro Valley. Only one of my hives made it through winter. I would like a nice.

Thank you,

Shannon

I came out of winter with 5 colonies and now have 11.  That’s way too much for me. 😀

If Castro Valley(Crow Canyon Road) isn’t too far, you are welcome to come get a nuc. Not charging for them. Just want them to go to a good home. 

If you want them, please contact me directly.

Hi, everyone. I need bees. I’m experienced at catching swarms but can’t get my finger on the buzzer quick enough to claim one. If you’re claiming a swarm not because you want the bees, please think of me.

 

I’ve got a pickup truck with shell; orchard ladder; long loppers. I’ve got a bait hive ready that can be converted in ten minutes.

 

I’m happy to take over and/or assist if I don’t have a meeting or appointment. And/or I can be the person who goes back at dusk. Also happy to spend an afternoon helping with your bees in return.

 

I’m in El Cerrito, so local is best—North Oakland, Berkeley, Kensington, EC or Richmond.

 

Thanks in advance!
