swarm-list Mailing List: Re: Swarm in Berkeley near near University and Sacramento, but 25 to 30 feet up, I'm told. No pix.

I feel ya, I might not be the best person for it, but I'll swing by to check it out and see if it's safe.

I'm pretty strongly a safety-first kinda guy.   OSHA makes rules for good reason.
(step) Ladders can lead to dangerous situations especially with the long lever arm of a 20 foot pole, and
a few pounds of bees in the bucket. 
Extension ladders propped up against branches is also scary.  It might slide along the branch as the branch bends.
We don't wanna visit you in a hospital, or send you get-well cards.

I'll send you the info if you want to take a look.

Hi Gerald - if I can get my ladder underneath, I could try to get a 25 ft reach. Sounds like they have been there a bit - I could get out there in about an hour? 805-705-6564

The apartment building manager is a bit concerned about them. They've been there for at least a full day... maybe two.

What's your tallest reach?
