Always welcomed, but today I was given news that last night July 7 2010 at 10:30 pm there were 2 or 3 people that saw hundreds of them in the lane way beside my gallery. It is 10:30 am July 8, 2010 and I can hear them buzzing around the gallery, I perceive them as a natural resource and am not allergic to them therefore not concerned for myself but possibly for my students that will arrive soon. It is believed that there are large numbers of them still in the attic of the building next door . They may have to be exterminated. Is there any alternative that you can suggest? Could they be relocated? Should I BEE CONCERNED, can I help in any way? Who would I contact at such a short notice? To Bee or Not to Bee,

Is there any alternative that you can suggest?

Could they be relocated?

Should I BEE CONCERNED, can I help in any way?

Who would I contact at such a short notice?
