Update… the bees are now in a single large cluster.  Easier for pole and bucket.  Still available.

Big swarm  Two clusters right now!  Maybe they will merge into one… or maybe there are two queens.  On the south end of Alameda near the High Street bridge.  Just landed on ginko tree about 15 feet up on medium sized branch.  Looks like it would be hard to get with a pole and bucket due to the fact that they are wrapped around the branch, but you might be able to pull it off.
