swarm-list Mailing List: Re: Small swarm in tree in Dublin

[Dunlap, Carter (carter]

Robin

Thanks for the clarification.

I'm a beekeeper in Piedmont and someone who I caught a swarm brought this to my attention - and I passed it along.

Hopefully whoever answered the call will share your opinion.

Olive trees often have bunched up trunks coming from the ground with hollow space at base and below ground level. They used the term swarm but it's probably not. Its a colony living in the tree as its hive/home. Its a trap out or extraction. Very difficult to accomplish and requires digging into the tree.

I forwarded the situation to some other needs above. 

I’m not going to the dye so don’t know who is. 

Suggest replying to the above. Thanks

I could get this, if it is not an extraction or crazy high up.

Hello, your message reached the group. Any chance you could include some more information? Perhaps a photo showing how high it is off the ground as well as a little more detail about what "for some time"

means? That would all likely make a difference as to whether or not someone may be able to come and get it.

Hi,

I am a member of the Alameda group and receive the swarm emails.

I've been contacted by a friend that has a swarm that looks like it has been there for some time, located in Dublin.

I can't respond due to my schedule. How do I get him into the swarm response system?

Thanks

Carter
