Hi Denrie and everyone,

The swarm hotline answerers don't monitor responses to extraction calls. Everyone is free to just contact the phone number that is posted. When you call you may find that someone has already been in touch with the caller, and your services aren't needed. But we won't know that. Or perhaps someone on this list has made arrangements. In which case they should respond to you directly and take this discussion off the group list.

I have some water meter bees I collected from a small park behind Alta Bates hospital in June of 2020, and they are still going strong. Usually you can take the cover home perched on a nuc box and deal with rubberbanding the comb into frames at your own place.

I’m just viewing my mails, should someone had given the matter prior consideration; then I wouldn’t make the call. 

Bee it swarm or extraction!

Hi Denrie and everyone,

The way extractions work is that all the information, including the location and phone number, are posted so anyone can contact the caller. Feel free to reach out to Rick Grant directly yourself. We don't know if someone has already handled this. Note that it would be nice if this was free as a public service, or very very inexpensive, which is how we usually treat water meter extractions.

Thank you,

Elinor

Was this taken care of?

Bees are inside an irrigation box at Sunset Park in Livermore.  Rick Grant, Park Maint. Tech, said kids will be playing soccer in this area soon.  Hope to have the bees removed for free or please give him a discounted bid (considered partly public service).

from Geneva, follow the main path behind the water towers heading towards Florence Rd., an A-frame is set up at the irrigation box with a warning sign for Bees.
