Hi all!
 
        This has been a fantastic season for honey bee swarms in the
Southeast U.S. Actually it is too fanatastic. As a student of wild bee
biology, beekeeping is a new hobby for me. I'm taking care of
a few hives. But many of them were left unattended for a long time, and
swarming has already occurred in some colonies. Swarming is posing a
problem
for local residents. My office has been flooded with calls of swarms
roosting on or in peoples homes. I don't have the equipment to capture
all of the swarms. Can anyone out their advise me on bee-friendly ways to
remove a swarm from a home. Especially after they started fashioning comb.
 
                                                Thanks,
                                                Blair
