Had a huge swarm that must be looking for a new home show up Monday night and basically creating a new hive in a tree.  

I've heard that guys that keep bees will come take them and rehome them.

Are they still there?  That’s a long time for a swarm to hang out.

I used to keep bees. I know people who still do.   Pics?

Still there, I figured they would be gone by now as well.  I will try to get pics, they are up there pretty good.

Pest guy came today and that one got on the porch, think he took a full dose.

Former experimenter with bees. Never could keep a hive full to the next season. Lost the last two in the big freeze last spring.

If they're still there OP I know a few people I could point you to.

Thanks guys, and yes they are way up there.  I won't get home tonight until after dark but I will check to see if they are still there tomorrow.  I was home at lunch and didn't notice much activity so maybe they have finally moved on.

appreciate the help.

Good news is they are at their calmest while swarming. No danger at all
