[ocba] bee vacuum needed

I need to borrow a bee vacuum for a pretty ticklish bee removal operation.
Our second hive swarmed and is trying to take up residence on the same
chimney cap that the first swarm colonized. The owner's efforts to smoke
them out are not working and he is extremely anxious to be rid of the bees.
I am negotiating for a cherry picker (the chimney is 40 feet up on a very
steep second-storey roof) to come and give us access. I think I have someone
who is willing to go up and retrieve the bees, but if any of you are
dying to be in on this, please let me know. I live about 2 miles north of
Carrboro, and of course I would love it if someone close by had a bee
vacuum, but I can come and get it wherever you are. THANK YOU!  And wasn't
the field day wonderful this morning!  I know I learned a lot. -Elisabeth
