swarm-list Mailing List: Re: Swarm in Berkeley on Woolsey St about 7 feet up football size arrived today - no pic. Youth in the household wants to take up beekeeping. Mom says not yet

Thanks for the bucket tip. Easy peasy with a bucket. It was more than football sized and super gentle. Family (and neighborhood) convened to watch. Closed the box when I got the queen and watched the rest of the swarm fly in. 

Picked it up after dark.
