Sorry for all the emails. My image wouldn't attach again. This one looks nice!

The  plot thickens. There is another large swarm about 50 feet from the previous photo. One of the other swarm list volunteers astutely pointed out that there is a hose on the ground in the foreground of the first photo. Turns out the bees on the equipment got sprayed with the hose but the large swarm appears untouched and I'm telling them to leave it alone.

In the photo it appears there are some bees on the ground under the chains but also a small cluster of bees on top of the container. It sounds like they may still be settling. Hopefully they'll land on that structure right in the middle. Can somebody go right away and handle this? Near Howe and Pacheco.
