Hi Becky,
Don Hopkins recommended I get in touch with you and you could in turn
pass this on to the county organization and see if anyone is
interested. I have a friend that called me to tell me that his
brother is renovating a house that has an established colony of bees
living in one of the walls. He doesn't want to kill the bees, but
also doesn't want to pay much to get rid of them. I told him it is
sometimes hard for beekeepers to do this kind of work because they
don't want to tear down walls in order to get to the bees. He says
that he doesn't mind walls being torn up since it is being renovated
and he is even willing to help in the demolition process. The house
is located somewhere in Efland, and if anyone is interested I will get
more details.

If you could please pass this on to the group to see if anyone would
be interested I would appreciate it. I can be reached at this email
address or my phone number at the lab is (919)513-7702.

Thanks for your help.
Jennifer Keller



I would be interested in going to this with someone who's caught a swarm before. I do not have any equipment nor have tried to catch a swarm before.

I live in Efland and could meet someone to check it out together. I don't have a spare hive body/cover but if I could borrow one I will keep the bees...
