Today the plant I work out of had a swarm land in the process area. The maintenance guys called a local beek who has been collecting swarms out here for years to come get them. Earlier this year I told the plant manager I wanted to gather all the swarms and he said no problem. Bad thing is he didn't tell the maintenance manager, oh well I was out of town anyway and would have had to rush back. When I did get back to my office the beek was just arriving, we got to talking and he offered to let me catch them but I didn't think that was right since he drove out to get them. But I did tell him I would get the future swarms from the plant :evil: He was a nice guy we got to talk bees for some time. The swarm was a good one too the size of a basketball. I talked to the maintenance manager he said the get 1 or 2 a year in the process area and those they have removed. But, in the outer cells of the facility they see a bunch and usually leave those alone because they don't pose a health risk to anyone. He said they will call me for those as well so I might get quite a few from my plant now :)
