swarm-list Mailing List: Re: Repost, sorta, Swarm/ extraction in a front porch in Fremont S Moray st - Clarification

[Gerald Przybylski (gtp000000]

A swarm moved into a Recess at eave level at the entrance to the house.
From the picture I saw, it looks like a cantalope size clump of bees 
huddled in a space that is a little hard to reach into.

If I were to take up the job, I would use a bee-vac to get the visible 
bees out of the recess,
then use an "Inspection-Scope" to look in the recess for any hole the 
bees might use to get into the framing.

At this point I am not inclined to believe this is an "Extraction" in 
the sense that no walls will need to be opened up to get the bees out.
i.e.  this shouldn't be a bank breaker.   It will require more skills, 
and equipment a swarm capture usually doesn't.
If the inspection-scope shows otherwise, than my assessment is wrong.

That's my 2¢
