That address is in the log - Extraction April 1 2024,
and also - Extraction June 21, 2023.

There is not currently a Hugo in the ACBA roster.
There was a Hugo from Berkeley in '23 and '24.  He was on the swarm-list.

I don't know Hugo  personally,  so I couldn't say for certain whether he is the SAME Hugo who did the job for Margaret.

The Extraction calls are sent out into the ether, so the swarm list volunteers have no idea who contacts the caller.

That being said,    Hugo Sappington    hugoas [at] berkeley.edu    7075294059.

Hey Eleanor —

I just spoke to Margaret about the Oakland extraction. The previous person who did the job was named Hugo and apparently the phone she had for him is disconnected. 

Obviously if the bees are coming back through the same hole they were getting through last year that’s a botched removal (it happens!). Before I give this woman a MUCH less expensive quote, I’m wondering if it might be possible for somebody who knows the membership roster well to get in touch with this guy and let him know he’s got a customer who needs follow up work done.

Does that make sense? I considered replying to your post asking if anybody knows a Hugo but it seemed better to be a little more discrete.

5950 McAndrew Dr, Oakland (off Hwy13). 

A year ago an expensive extraction was done. Person said he sealed it and filled it. But now another swarm has moved in. 

Next to the chimney on 2nd floor. The flight path is from a crack between house and chimney
