Google for your local beekeeping group, or contact your local department of ag and ask about a swarm list. Most areas have a beekeeping club that maintains a swarm list.

Any tips for them? Is there any site where they could let people know that they have a swarm available for the taking? Thanks.

I had two swarms in my back yard in SF about 20 years ago and since nothing. Very few bees around for fruit trees. Glad to hear that there are still swarms.

I thought your Blog readers might enjoy it so thought I’d offer it to you to share with them! Hope you enjoy it. Sean Arenas Hello,

Do you happen to know if there are problems with having a single beehive in this more populated area (near the Larkspur Ferry Landing and on an Audubon bird marsh)? Just curious.

I feel like a buzzing bee over the fact that I'm a loyal lo-o-o-n-g-time customer (dating back at least 10 years)but face no incentives to stay with Sonic. Here's why: The "new" customer $14.95 DSL rate is much lower than my "old" customer rate. To change to the "new" customer rate, I would incur an additional $50 service-call charge. Why not reward loyal customers like me by waiving that fee? Or something even better. I have saved you much money in no-churn and referrals. You haven't had to chase a newbie to replace me. Any gratitude? Hi Dane:
