A friend-of-a-friend situation has come my way, where a limb fell from a tree and left exposed a colony of bees which the land owner would like to have moved rather than destroyed. Although I would like to save the bees, this is a bit beyond my skills as a beekeeper. I've read and know the procedures, but I'm not up to the task (Yes, I'm chicken!). Anyway, the tree is located within five miles of the Saugerties exit on the N.Y. Thruway (Exit 23 I believe) and the bees are there for the taking if anyone is interested. Time is critical here as the bees are causing a bit of a problem with the land owners animals (horses, dog, and son). The limb fell about four hours ago (About noon on 6/18). If there are any takers or free advise, E-Mail ASAP!
