swarm-list Mailing List: Remaining Swarm Oakland, already boxed up

[julia sebastian (jsebas158]

Hi All, 

A few weeks ago I gave away a swarm to the list that had made a home in my old hive box equipment. I recently cleaned out my equipment and realized there are still a substantial amount of bees in the box, basically the size of a small swarm. I am not sure if this is a new swarm, or if the remaining bees kept the hive going. I don't have room for another hive and would like to give this one away either to combine with an active hive or as its own colony. I have already boxed up the hive with a bottom board, a deep and put straps around it so it is ready to transport, and then checked out to see what is the best course of action. 

Let me know if you are interested!

Best, 

Julia
