if the swarm is still there tomorrow morning (Thursday 12/10/2017), I would be willing to collect it and hive the swarm for beekeeping purposes. So if you are willing to allow me to do this, contact me on 0438 244 862 or by email: ibaird@netspeed.com.au and I will do so! (- or contact me at work today on 02 62072336 or by email: ian.baird@act.gov.au.

Ian, it was removed about 15 minutes after I took the photo. The preschool staff were quite prompt I getting someone to collect the swarm. They even videoed the process.

Mike, no worries. Swarms are now in great demand given the recent growth in interest in domestic beekeeping!
