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,
