Beekeepers! Honeybee swarm in my yard

17 years ago

Today I came home to a mass of bees swarming around a tree. They are in a large swarm right now. I hope they leave soon! Any beekeepers around Pgh, PA that want to come get these bees??? I worry about my cat and the kids at the bus stop in front of my house......I don't want them to go near it. It is very low on a branch close to the ground. Also I hope they don't decide to move in somewhere near. We always have problems with ground bees.

There's a guy listed here who might be able to help. The topic is Beaver Valley, but the address is the North Hills.
