Save Time....Get Swarm Info
If you get a call about someone who has a swarm of bees, here are some tips on information you should get.
*Name, address and phone number of homeowner.
*Direction to find swarm including location on the property.
*Length of time bees have been at location.
*Height above ground. Will ladder be needed.
*Size of swarm (eg., football size or larger)
*Can person calling send you a picture via text?
*How many beekeepers has the home owner called before you? If the answer is several.... You might want to stay home...
*Make sure you take needed equipment: Something to put swarm in, maybe something to cut small branchs with, a bee friend would be nice.
If you want to be added to the swarm call list, send Jan your name and phone number.
