swarm-list Mailing List: Re: Could someone check out a bee tree on Virginia Avenue north of Campus in Berkeley, if you have some free time

[realrambo [at] aol.com (realrambo]

We have tree a couple bock away with a fairly large colony , been there for at least 20 years ,most likely more .  the neighbors instead of being negative put a bright yellow sign  Bees , no one has come to complaint to have them removed , the entrance face the sidewalk about a foot off the ground , we I walk my dogs they seat and watch them {one of them is a  bee catcher rather fun to see him in action} 

love to post a video but for some reason I cannot . Education is what we need ,

The tree has a vertical slot in it, and a colony of bees coming and going.

If the entrance faces the sidewalk it could be a problem.

2275 Virginia Street    Berkeley    Ca

The caller was  Eliotte Garling    (541) 788-8789, who I believe was a

passer by.

It looks devilishly difficult to do a trap-out there.

I'm not looking for someone to do a trap-out, but to take a look at the

situation to see

how much the bees are, or are not, in conflict with the neighbors,

pedestrians, etc.

If you live in the neighborhood, could you please have a look?
