swarm-list Mailing List: SWARM! Danville near El Capitan and Green Brook Dr

[Paula Breen (paulaellen70]

Beekeeper's hive swarmed into the neighbor's tree. Estimated 12 feet up. 


She told the neighbor they DEFINITELY aren't her bees, so shhhhh! No telling. Full disclosure, I worked this hive in the fall and they were on the saucy side, so you might consider either requeening or pinching this queen and combining the bees with an existing hive. Or at least be on the alert for bad behavior and nip it in the bud before they get too big.

Safety first! No swarm is worth risking injury to self, or host.
