swarm-list Mailing List: Re: SWARM! Alameda, 6-8 ' up in a lemon tree. Broadway and Washington

[Gerald Przybylski (gtp000000]

    I'd say your luck was exceptional, but good-for-you!   
    (We had a swarm move into a trap a couple of weeks ago, and are
    getting more scouting at other boxes.  A good year is 3 to 5 in our
    neighborhood) 
    imo worth the trouble.
    imo a good deed done for the neighborhood by luring in swarms that
    might otherwise cause drama in streets and non-beekeeper yards. 
    :-)

Unrelated to this but I wanted to share that I just set up a trap for the first time and just like that a swarm moved in. I’m in the Richmond Annex area. Just sharing in case we(the club) is tracking swarm activity

This is one of several times that I did not see the original swarm notice. Would members of the swarm hotline please ensure that I am currently listed.

Thank you,

Tomoyo called to report a swarm in her backyard lemon tree. May have just landed. Maybe 6-8 feet up.

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

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