More bees than I know what to do with! Any SWFL beeks want feral hives?

I recently posted on Craigslist offering to take bees from people's houses, etc.  I've been absolutely innundated!  I took the ad down after a couple of days, and I'm still getting calls.  I have 3 colonies that I'm going to go get, but I have several others that are available, but I have no more hives.  I told the others that I'd put it out on Beemaster's Forum and see if I could find someone who wants them.  Any takers?  The hives are in the Ft. Myers/Naples area.

I had such fun with what SWFL stood for - Single White Female L????   and then realized it was South West Florida.

I'm not interested, being 20+ hours away :roll:, but are these colonies that you offered to take for free?

Sounds interesting.  Get any calls for southeast Florida ?  I live near fort lauderdale.

I'm by Daytona. If these bees are in mobile homes maybe they'd want to bring 'em up here? :-D

"In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American...There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag...We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language...And we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people."

After reading your note, I also posted a note in craigslist. Not a single response. Where did you post yours ? I could use some more bees in SE Florida.

Mike:

I posted under "general" and "items wanted".  I was thinking of posting in the "free" section offering free bee removal, but never needed to as I was buried.  I am still getting calls even though I took it down 2 weeks ago.  I have seen several postings in the free section of folks looking to "give away" a wild hives as well.  I'd keep re-posting periodically.  If you want to run across the "Alley", I have at least 5 other hives that I'm not going to go get, if you want them.

I would never get 5 in one day and get home too.   Tempting though.   I could use some healthy bees.

MIke:

Yeah, it takes a good 2+ hours to do a cutout.  You're about an hour and a half away on top of that.
