Swarm in Cable Box

My friend Rainbo called me about a swarm that had moved into the cable box behind her condo ... I had been here before ... 2 years ago I caught my Skwerl Hive that was *thinking* of moving into this very same cable box ... but I was able to give them a much nicer home, which I moved to my bee community in Scotts Valley on my organic 1/2 acre property ... this new swarm would be harder to capture ... they had already started making honey comb in between all the wires and connectors and pipes contained in this forest green dome that had only 2 small holes for their entry and escape ...

After taking the dome cover off I discovered a small swarm ... probably 5000 bees ... 


I worked for 3 hours ... trying to move these buzzy girls and their queen to the hive that I brought for them ... but to no avail ...


So I left the hive, touching the cable wires and hope they decide to move into their new home (:
