The caller from EBMUD didn't know how long the bees have been there.
If it just moved in and has a bit of comb on the top, it's easy. - virtually a swarm

If it turns out to be a chore extracting comb all the way to the bottom, it could be a mess.
I don't know if it'll be possible to negotiate a job with ebmud.

I'm waiting for info from the home owner since the box appears to be on private property in the middle of the yard rather than a parking strip
