swarm-list Mailing List: Re: Swarm 15' up in tree in Oakland, Mormon Temple neighborhood

[Leslie Louie (3bowens1louie]

There were 2 swarms below the Mormon Temple last week in a yard with 3 hives that I manage and in the neighbor's yard on the ground. None were from my hives. Maybe there's a bee 'haver' in the area?

Something about the M Temple I guess. Seems like about the 3rd swarm this year in that area. I just had a sizeable swarm move into a bait hive today and I live 1000 feet away.
