Feral Colony in Downtown Napa

This is an interesting hive because long before I ever saw the bees people were telling me about it.
it mostly came up over coffeee at ABC, always described as being over there behind the large lavender Victorian. It's in the garage behind the house in the alley way.  Joe Newman, who used to own the car detail shop on the corner,  actually walked me over a couple months ago to see it.

I imagine it's a pretty strong colony by the size off the space they occupy. Honestly, I'm amazed no one has removed them, their flight path is about 4 foot up directly behind a popular parking lot.

All I had was my cell phone, so the image is kinda crappy but you get the idea.....
bees thriving in a garage in Downtown Napa gentle, not bothering people, probably of decent genetic stock.
