I have empty mediums now, but if I can pick up a deep–I might give you a call. Thanks.

I spoke to the person needing the rescue today. He was hoping someone might volunteer to do the cut out. Since I have never done one–I had to turn it down. But if someone goes and needs help–just let me know.

I live in North Hollywood and am close to Glendale

I am looking for a swarm. And since I have empty hive boxes with no comb–I would be happy to help on a cut out. Unfortunately, I work during the day and this next Saturday in the morning. But I could help Saturday afternoon and/or Sunday if this cut–out could occur then.

If helping does not work–I would still be interested in taking the cut out hive. My number is 818-391-6447. Eric

I want to give my thanks to Susan also. I picked up my swarm just last week, and I have been worried to death that my bees will leave. So far I still see a few each day and all seems well. I will feel a lot better in a couple of weeks and I can see a lot of comb.

Thanks again,

A special Thanks to Susan for keeping me in mind. I am so happy to have a swarm and hope I can keep them happy so they stay. And I am looking forward to ensuring I maintain the level of competence you have described throughout this thread. I am pretty certain everyone in my neighborhood will be happy to have a hive of bees around. But no one will be happy if I neglect to care for them. And I appreciate your efforts to explain the importance of this on my forum post.

Thanks again,
Eric

I totally appreciate the concern. I would have removed this post–given the concerns you expressed, but I do not seem to have that ability.

Susan;

You are so right, and I probably should not have posted like that. I have to look up the names, but I did read several books on beekeeping, and I attended as many of the beekeeping meetings I could since last spring. Last year I bought two hive boxes and read alot and hoped to get a swarm and it did not happen. I even tried to attract local bees as best I could and cultivate my vegetable gardens with bees included in my planning.

What I can do is try to get this posting down and take your advice about following the digest–rather than post like I did. Thanks for knocking some sense in me:)
