swarm-list Mailing List: Re: Extraction, Maybe, in Richmond - Bunch of bees moved from dumpster to this structure at the top of the high-bay door.

[Claire Lussier (lussier.claire]

I talked to Samantha and it looks like they are still just a small swarm in need of retrieval. Doesn’t appear they have entered the door or taken up residence yet. I have an extraction today and could go later to grab them, or if my extraction goes long, I can go tomorrow BUT if there’s a swarm catcher who wants to grab them, this seems like it’s still in that realm!

I'm told that bees can't be seen on the other side of this door-frame. 
It's about 12 to 15 feet up.

This probably needs a closer look by someone who does extractions. 

I asked if the bees only hang out there in the daytime -  like scouts. 
That's when I learned the bees moved from the dumpster to the structure. So my gut says they think it's home now.
