swarm-list Mailing List: Extraction from water meter/valve box in Dublin off of the Dublin Ranch Drive loop (east of 680, north of 580

[Gerald Przybylski (gtp000000]

The bees are entering the cover of one of those small concrete vaults 
for the city's recycled water system.
The caller says she's seen them there when she walks her dog, and 
they're getting more active.

So this might be a colony from last year, or it might be scouts from 
this spring.

I'm posting this to be claimed by someone.
It's not on private property.
It might be full of comb if they're last year's bees.

They're not going anywhere.
Claim it if you want to check it out and are up for doing a cutout.
If they're last year's bees this will take hours, and you'll need a bee 
vac, and probably a generator to power it with.

I assume the professionals won't be very interested because I don't 
expect it'll be a paying gig.

I have a short video I can send you to help ID the right box, but it 
won't be very helpful
