Beekeepers in the Manchester, NH area - we have a swarm reported on Harriman street. It has been there for two days so it won't stay much longer. Message me via FB or email me: [email protected] for contact info and address.

Please don't head over until you have confirmed with the owners that the swarm is still there and that someone will meet you. - John
