swarm-list Mailing List: Re: Swarm in Dublin on a tree adjacent to a slope. Cresta Lane - probably gnarly because of the height and access

[Andrew Cain (andrewccain]

Robin,

If you can't tackle it, I might be able to help them out.

Of all beeks in the area, I think you're one of the more able and resource
I'll pass the info to you, Robin, and you can get more pix from the caller that will convince you either way.

If you think it's out of reach, that's OK, and it can get away.    No reason to take excessive risks.

The caller said it may be more accessible from the neighbor's yard.   horizontal bucket pole job, perhaps, or bee vac with a long wand.

I saw it's a beauty. They would stable hard. How high is it? How far up the slope would i have to climb? Could I see a photo that includes the ground and the swarm?
