Title: Anyone near El Paso???
Post by: Jerrymac on June 19, 2006, 09:31:36 pm

Some one in El Paso has bees in a tree. If you want them contact me and I will send you more info on it.

Anybody at all?

I'd love to get them, but I'm nowhere near El Paso.. I recently removed a feral colony from the side of a house myself and found the experience to be quite fun and much easier then I originally thought.  Maybe you could get them yourself? It's a great way to get more bees.

I know I live in Texas and El Paso is in Texas, but you got to remember Texas is a big state. El Paso is 350 miles from me.

All I have are bees I have gotten out of walls and floors. Haven't bought one bee probably never will. I still have 8 or 9 colonies awaiting me to go get them. These are 15 miles, up to 110 miles away.

I guess nobody around here told these feral bees they died off a few years back from the mites.

I love it when you cross the border from Louisiana into Texas and there's a big sign that says something like:  "El Paso 950 miles"   :lol:
