Dennis grabs a Labor Day swarm

I was just starting to organize my Labor Day possibilities when Tammy called. She and Steve live in Costa Mesa and she knew about my bee life. As fortune would have it, a nice sized swarm of feral bees had landed in a tree across from their house. My Labor Day now had a plan and the Bee Man was on the way to Costa Mesa.


Unlike most bee calls, her description was spot on. It was in a tree but not over my head (instead of the usual call where bees 6 ft up are really 12 ft up. This was a very nice sized swarm of small feral bees easily reachable.
