swarm-list Mailing List: San Leandro Swarm in Fence

[Gabriel Harber (harberphoto]

This should be a fairly straightforward extraction… though you have to deal with the comb.  It sounds like bees have been in the cavity of a fence for a couple of months now.  The renter is ready for them to be gone.  You should be able to unscrew the fence boards and access the colony.  He knows there will be a charge.  Might be a good beginner extraction.   

Reach out to Michael  510-284-9171

His address is  14626 Silvia Way, San Leandro.

Here is Michael’s side of the fence.  You can see that there are no fence boards to the right of the bees.  But on his neighbor’s side, where the bees are, there are fence boards going the whole length of the fence… creating a protected cavity for the bees to build in.  

A view from the neighbor’s side.

Thanks,

Gabriel
