I gotta remember to check craigslist more often.

I really gotta remember to check craigslist more often.  I checked today and someone was looking for someone to remove a swarm near enough to me that I could have done it.  UGH!!  It was posted on the 8th, and I'm sure they're gone by now, but I'm still going to try and contact them to see.  It would be great if I could get them.

post yourself for removals.  i got a lot of calls that way.

[SgtMaj]

You mean on Craigslist?

I have heard of it but never been to it, will have to check it out

 Hey, It's free and it works. It's also face to face buying and selling, or hiring. I'v hired my last 3 employee's from it.

[Kathyp]

yup.  i posted my add on there and the phones never quit.  plenty of strange calls and wasp calls, but lots of legit calls also.  adds are found by key word so make sure you have all the words that people might search by, in your posting.

hive
hives
beekeeper
swarm
swarms
honeybee(s)

for some reason it sometimes will not pick up your add in a search for 'swarm' if the person searches for 'swarms'.  don't know why.

I sell my honey on craigs list. I get about 1/3 of my customers that way.

where did you list your ad in craigs list and maybe give me a hint as to how to write it thank you

[rast]

 KONSADAD, do they pick it up at your house or do you meet them somewhere else?

[...someone was looking for someone to remove a swarm...I could have done it.]

Oh boy, I just can't until you have bees....  :roll:

I'm so ready to hear so much more about what you know about beekeeping.
I think I'm really waiting for you to even retract a few comments.  :-\

It will either be a humbling experience or we'll all be bald from pulling out each other's hair.

If I spilled the beans, it wouldn't be nearly as fun...
I just have to let things play out for you. [SMILE]

Take care, hope things work well for you.
The bees will do what they do and you will fall into place where they want you.

KONSADAD, do they pick it up at your house or do you meet them somewhere else?

I usually meet people at various local places. not my home usually. having said that, people usually ask to see my hives and i have gatherings for people at my home, sell honey and even get one or two members for club as well.

My add says "Local Raw Honey", I then describe my honey a little bit, add prices and refer them to my website  www.hiddenacrehoney.com and they email me through website

here is link for most recent add on craig's list
