A friend living just north of San Franciscowrote to report a swarm close to her house. Apparently someone noticed a swarm flying around and discovered a ball of bees in a tree, one attached to the mail box and 4 other balls in a different neighbor's tree...even one pile on the driveway!
They called a "bee guy" who found the originating location between two fences. He took apart the wall and found a 4 foot by 4 foot area completely covered in wax, honey, bees, and larvae. Each little ball had a queen. He said that it was unusual for there to be so many queens and for the groups of bees to be so small. He vacuumed them all up and took them to new homes.
