I was able to salvage a small cluster of bees from a swarm that got doused with household cleaner . Unfortunately the queen was killed by the scared and uneducated fellow who put cleaner on them because he could not obtain poison . It became a very educational experience and many children and adults were able to be around while I salvaged a cluster of the bees, with no protective gear and no stings . Even after them being so violated . long story short ~ im in need of a queen please send me an email if you have an extra on hand also there is a page on our web page about making a swarm box so they are easy to manage and give a new home with minimal effort http://www.livingseedlibrary.net/bees/swarm-box/ -- Thanks Ross LivingSeedLibrary.Net <http://livingseedlibrary.net> living seed library for the 100% [log in to unmask] Agricultural Consultation, Education, and Manifestation *********************************************** The BEE-L mailing list is powered by L-Soft's renowned LISTSERV(R) list management software.
