swarm-list Mailing List: Re: Swarm in north Richmond, just arrived, at eaves of 1 story house - still there, need saving

[Elinor N. LEVINE (elevine]

Caller’s daughter reached out to me because no one has contacted her mother.

Bees are still there so I don’t think they have moved into the house. A clump fell on the ground and are dead but they did not do anything to cause this.

Maybe 1/2 a football in size. Sorry no photo.

At this point this is a rescue operation and counts as community service.

Anyone able to help Mrs. Wanda Harris?

Call her at 510-776-6227 and let the list know you will help.

Thank you,

Elinor

Still available. You could go soon and take them home tonight. Or tomorrow morning early.

Anyone?

Just noticed bees an hour ago. Forming a cluster on the gutter. Still a lot flying around.  No photo.

Caller is not home, but if you want to handle it you can find the bees on the front of the house on the right side at the corner of the garage.

We talked about the possibility of the bees entering the attic area, but so far are maintaining a cluster. The roof is new.

Anyone interested?
