swarm-list Mailing List: Re: Swarm taking up bird house in Rockridge No Oakland

[Yoko Kumano (yokuma]

Checked on these earlier today and they were bumblebees. They were active 
already at 10am, so I told the homeowner I would go back and get them around 
7:30.

He has a small child and seemed anxious to have them out of his yard. 

I love bumblebees and will rehome them in my yard. Last year, I rehomed some 
that were living in a box full of dryer lint.
