I take your various points regarding swarms vs extractions. I will call the homeowner back and explain that we are thinking it really is an extraction so a few will be involved. There are a number if you who are interested but it looks like Nick is beeless. He was not the first to come forward so I am giving out the information based on policy around extractions and anyone can reach out to her to go see what’s up and make a bid.

Swarms are clusters hanging or on the ground Open air hives are more work and time and equipment. I also feel irrigation boxes, compost bins and inside garbage cans are extractions. If they've moved in it's an extraction. My 2 pennys
