swarm-list Mailing List: Fwd: Bee tree Piedmont.

[Paula Breen (paulaellen70]

Thanks Bo for getting the intel. 

Someone called the city of Piedmont to complain about the bees. Sounds like they may have been there last year as well. The city encourages residents to coexist. If you are interested in the likely doomed task of a trapout please call Nancy at the number below. I will let her know that it's not a swarm and that if somebody wanted to take this on they will be in touch.

> Light on details, sorry. A resident near 220 Hillside called the City of Piedmont to complain about bees in a tree. Sounds like the call came in last week and it sounds like the same tree was called as a bee tree last year. Nancy from the city can be reached at 510-406-6342. She's going to try and get photos on her lunch break. Anyone in that neighborhood available to scope out the situation? The tree is on a strip between the curb and the sidewalk.
