swarm-list Mailing List: Re: WHO Doesn't Have Bees, and wants them? What cities are you in? What prevents you from chasing swarms?

[Daisy Knutson (daisyshah]

Hi Gerald,

I am just getting into beekeeping and would like to catch a swarm. I am located in Oakland.  The two reasons that prevent me from chasing swarms is my inexperience (only knowledge is from watching many YouTube videos) and that I haven't got any beekeeping equipment as of yet.

I would love to join someone in a swarm chase in the Oakland/Alameda/Berkeley areas.  However not sure how to go about with posting that. Or if anyone has equipment that I could borrow until I get my own.

Thanks,
Daisy
