The day got crazy with that dispatch to Castro Valley. I show up in Castro Valley. I catch the swarm yay, and then I get a call from my son that there’s a swarm in my front yard balled up on a bush. I caught it as well. Catching swarms is one thing. Getting them to stay is another when you don’t have a frame with brood. Any suggestions?

Splitting hairs!  
Archie (Alameda) and 
Maruf (Albany) 
responded in the same minute.  My phone has one ahead, and my laptop has the other ahead.  
So I get to flip a coin, or use other logic.
I suspect the travel time from Alameda may be shorter this time of day. 

My apologies 
(The two of you are also welcome to lobby each other for the opportunity)
