Hi Becky,
 
My neighbor asked me if I would like "some bees" that have taken residence at his mother's house.  I went today to assess the situation.  Here's the story:
 
The house is an older historic brick home with double hung wooden cased windows in West Hillsborough.  From what I can tell the colony is using one entrance.  The entrance is at the lower corner of a second story window where the wood casing and the brick meet.  I was able to view the bees entering and exiting  from the outside as well as watching them through the window of the second story room.  My neighbor tells me that they have been there "for a few years", so it's likely an established colony.
 
Is there anyone who would like to take a crack at this?  I will certainly help but given the situation it will take more than my limited experience!!  I don't need an additional hive at this time.  Just thought I would help my neighbor.  Look forward to hearing from you.
