Free Swarm of Bees (East Pittsburgh)

-
A swarm of some sort of bee has created a nest around the roof of my home. I'm not sure what kind they are... and I'm not going to get close enough to find out. I don't know what to do with them, but a friend told me that a beekeeper (or anyone) might want them. They were free for me, so they are free for you! So, if you'd like a swarm of bees, you've come to the right post! If you're not interested in the bees, but you'd like to offer some advice, feel free to share.

Please contact me via email or by phone at 412-two-two-nine-72-four-2. I'll take this post down once they have been captured or migrated to a different location.
  • Location: East Pittsburgh

Oh man! I'll remember this logic if I discover termites in my house. Free to me so they're free to you! The generosity is just killing me.
 
About 50-75% of the people that say they are coming to see whatever it is your selling on CL never show up or call to say they're not coming.

My brother-in-law drove up from CT to my place in Maine one time last year to sell his sled. Buyer promised he was interested and would be by . . . never showed . . . or called. Pretty much a wasted trip for my brother-in-law.

Me . . . I've had pretty good luck . . . but then again I usually offer up my stuff at a decent deal and it seems as though I typically get several folks who are interested and I tell them all the same thing . . . first one to show up with cash in hand walks away with whatever I am selling.

Actually, honeybees do have a demand, and most beekeepers will come remove a swarm for free. Some will remove hives etc for free as well... Can't blame the person for trying to find a beekeeper to take them, unfortunately, it doesn't sound like honeybees in that ad...

No. I won't pay you $20 to clean up your garbage, but I will take some of that nice cord wood behind the crap.

Oak Firewood, seasoned (dry), split and delivered free in RC - 1/3 cord $100, 1/2 cord $150. Great burning, good for stove pipes, especially if you've been burning a lot of pine. This hotter burning wood will help clean out the pipes. Text or call.

LOL, nothing like a little chimney fire to clean the chimney...
 
I think what he meant by that, was that he will be charged for a tree removal service to take down the trees, but is willing to have someone come cut them, and take the free wood for doing it...........

Oh, so you think he's paying someone to take down the trees already, just trying to get rid of the wood? I re read it, you could be right.
 
Local version of Craigslist. At least he knows his wood is NOT seasoned and he has no intention of doing so, lol.

Haha yeah, let's not try to burn good dry wood... Some people
 
I know a lot of folks use their phones to post to CL (and here), and as someone who is "textually" active I understand the occasional grammatical and spelling error, but come on.. If you have a a business don't you want to post an ad that is at least legible? Also, it seems this wood was just cut yesterday.

Cheaper to frequent the Salvation Army store and burn Oak furniture.
 
I LOL'd when I saw this one. Sure, get some "seasoned" firewood that's been piled up and covered completely with a tarp...
