Do ya want to add your name to this year's OCBA Swarm Patrol?
Of course you do, free bees!
How it works:
When the OCBA receives word of a swarm, I will contact the folks who are within their desired radius of the swarm. I'll pass on the location to the 1st responder; remember there's usually no telling how long the swarm has been in a particular location or how long they'll be there. Therefore, rapid response (having your swarm gear at the ready [even with you]) is key to finding the swarm where it was last noticed. Bear in mind, some swarms are a lot easier to hive than others. (Some are a foot off the ground, others are higher....Are you comfortable on a ladder?) (One of the trickiest I've encountered, was in a mailbox!)
As the season progresses, I'll try to see that everyone on the list gets a shot at hiving a swarm.
Here's what I need from folks interested in swarms:
1) Make sure you've paid your 2015 OCBA membership dues ($5). [You're encouraged to join the NCSBA ($15). That's a cool twenty dollar bill for a colony of honeybees; a bargain.]
2) email me, include: your name
- phone #
- Area/distance your willing to travel to get a swarm
- Maximum height your comfortable dealing with a swarm
- Days &/or times of day you can realistically breakaway to catch a swarm
Spring is coming,
- Chris Richmond
