Well, I seem to have a problem. About six weeks ago my wife gave my chickens to some lady she met in Wallyworld. The chickens were all seven or eight years old, so they would only lay once in a while. Their days in the sun were over.
The idea was that we would start over with a new batch of chicks when the weather cooled off.
Well yesterday I went to clean up the coop, and I discovered that a swarm of feral bees had set up house in my coop. They were not there on Friday, but they were there on Monday. I sat and watched them off and on all yesterday afternoon. They seemed pretty sedate to me. But when my son came home, they didn't like him at all.
I sure don't want to spray my coop with pesticide. Any suggestions?
I would advertise on CL, any other places you can think of for a beekeeper to come remove the swarm. Might also check with the permaculture group to see if any beekeepers there want to pick them up http://www.phoenixpermaculture.org/
