Hi Todd and all,
 
i got the same call as i have a friend next to him. there is a nuc there trying to get them to go in but i think its a lost cause. even w/ lemongrass sprayd on open bomb not much interest. the feral colony had been there for at least 2 years. i'll send some pics of the comb i found...sad. several large sections of brood laying wet on the ground!

I received a call this morning. Last night's storm took down a hollow tree. The owner said that there is a colony in one of the large branches. Apparently it is exposed and he would love for some one to come save the bees. 

If you are interested in the bees and can help, give him a call:
Scott Johnson 919-428-1101

Thanks,

Todd
