Swarms

[Julie Brown]

I am looking to start some hives and am interested in a few swarms. Please contact me at 954-547-0613 if any become available. I am all set up and ready to go. THANKS!

Hi Julie—thanks for letting us know. So far, I have not been getting swarm calls or receiving boxed swarms from my Bee Removal contact, Wendy, who is in the South Bay and brings me her swarm boxes for re-homing.
It is important to watch this list daily for postings of available swarm boxes as most folks with the bees are not going to pursue the people in search of bees but, the other way ’round.
Also, while you are waiting, if you are a new beek (you do not mention) you should try to get linked up with a mentor so you have guidance and help as you go. Have you read the Idiot’s Guide to Beekeeping and do you have your protective clothing, a smoker and hive tool? Our club can help with linking to a mentor—just post your request on this forum

Thanks for the reply Susan. Brie is my mentor and we have everything we need to move forward. I will keep a close watch on the forum though and please let me know if you come across any swarms that need a good home.

I am also looking for swarms to start a 2nd and 3rd hive. I will keep an eye on this blog, but if anyone needs swarm collection in a pinch please contact me:

PS. I don’t have the expertise to extract out of buildings (eaves, inside walls, etc.).

Michael—you should mention where you live so folks will know if they can reasonably offer you a swarm call. Susan

Micheal again, looking for swarms.I am in the Silverlake area of Los Angeles and during the week am in El Segundo during business hours.
Thanks,
Micheal
