This is the status of the bees two days after the swarm first appeared. They instantly found the small woodpecker holes which we were unable to reach from either the roof, or the ladder.
According to the Bee-Triever, there is probably already a hive in the wall.
The current plan is as follows:
Tomorrow a scaffolding company is coming from Santa Rosa to install scaffolding so the Bee-Triever has a place to work while getting the bees, and Stuart will have a place to work while repairing the wall. The Bee man has to be here because if the bees become active, he will have to do the last of the scaffolding with them giving directions. Then he will proceed with opening the wall, and beginning his part of the operation. The scaffolding will be up for a minimum of two weeks which hopefully will be enough time to get the bees and repair the side of the house.
Oh JOY! I won't even mention the cost at this point...but believe me, it ain't gonna be cheap to save those bees.
