I’m collecting these gals now. Definitely a tricky tree to get them out of.

Patrick called to report a swarm moving into his beautiful Bay Laurel tree about 6 feet up. Unfortunately it's a little too close to their work shed and where his sons swing is, so he's not jazzed about the idea of coexistence. The hole that they moved into is rather large however, and he said you can see into the tree and that the business end of a shop vac would fit in the hole. This would be hopefully an easy extraction for somebody with a bee vac. Please contact Patrick if you can get those bees out quickly before they start taking care of business.
