Bees are living in this trashcan, and swarmed yesterday. This is on Laguna Vista. The side gate is unlocked and you can go right in and get the trashcan.

The caller sealed up the entrance, today I think. Someone was stung yesterday. She is going to try to go out now and remove that so the bees are not trapped in there.

Is anyone able to go over and take a look at it now?

You can take the entire trashcan and not return it. You’d probably need to go back to pick up the whole thing, maybe very early tomorrow morning would be a way to make sure you got all the foragers.
