swarm-list Mailing List: Re: Swarm in Albany: 6’ up hanging over sidewalk

[joshu a story (joshu.deleon]

i have this swarm safely in a box.  if there is any newbeek who doesnt have any bees and wants these, you can have them.  

sorry for the delayed post, i had to run directly from gathering the bees, off into my day.  

the bees are safe in a box in albany, humming and waiting for their scouts to return.  

it could have been a tricky pull because they were wrapped around barbwire on top of a chainlink fence, but these are very calm bees so everything went pretty smooth.  

i would love to keep them, but Becky Klein didnt have space for a swarm she gathered during a storm earlier this year, and very kindly let me have them, so in the spirit of community and paying it forward, if there is any newbeek who doesnt have any bees but has an empty beehive and wants these, you can have them.  I will even help you set them up.  

let me know before 8pm, thats when i am headed over to gather the box up.

This might be an ok one for a newbie. I'll give it another 10 minutes. If no one else claims it, it'll be yours, Becky.

Might be easy capture. Should be collected soon. Please be prepared to go soon and leave box until after dark.

If you want it, include your email address and phone number.
