swarm-list Mailing List: Re: Oakland Dimond District Swarm

[Andrew Westbury (andrew.westbury]

Hi Gabriel and Eva,

I am a Dimond District beekeeper and my large colony just swarmed in its entirety a few days ago. I don’t know the location of this swarm but they could be the same bees. We are on Sheffield and MacArthur. If that seems close, I would love to talk. My number is 202-213-8540. Unfortunately I am traveling this week but my partners are around in Oakland. 

All the best

Drew
