swarm-list Mailing List: Re: Swarm in Alameda

[Archie Richardson (kayak2fish2004]

I’m the neighbor that attempted to secure that swarm yesterday. They are back in the exact same place. I suspect the lower rail that they are on may have a void that the queen is holed up in. That, or they just didn’t like my digs. Would love to watch someone else tackle this.
