swarm-list Mailing List: SWARM! Oakland, near Coolidge and MacArthur, high flyers!

[Paula Breen (paulaellen70]

Casey called to report these bees on the property of their non-profit. They arrived today and they appear to be fairly high up- she's estimating maybe 18 ft? Definitely will need a pole and bucket for this one! THEY ARE VERY ANXIOUS TO HAVE THIS HANDLED RIGHT AWAY SO IF YOU ARE COMING FROM FAR PLEASE DO NOT CLAIM THIS ONE. LEAVE IT FOR A LOCAL WHO CAN GET THERE FAST.

Who would like to leave now to collect the swarm and return after dark to ensure no be left behind?

If you collected a swarm in the last 24 hours, please hold off 5 minutes before making a claim.

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