I agree with Yoon. All of the activities he stated have worked for us
to recover around 200 feral hives in the past 3 years. In a small
community like ours, now everyone knows who to call, and they do call
us--even the exterminator.
For those in larger communities or those who are not well known in your
area, a SAVE THE BEES article in a local newspaper as well as notices
put up in public places would give you exposure. I believe there are
feral bees out there, and I also believe there are people who already
know where they are. It would save a lot of time and effort if you
could just get them to call you.
We have even had hunters call us to tell us where an existing colony
made its hive in a tree miles into the mountains. Capturing feral bees
sure makes life interesting!
Happy hunting,
Molokai Meli, Hawaii
