Hi Helen
        We are reshingling our house and found a hive in it that is wild. This
really surprised me as I heard they are all gone too. I think they are
mostly gone from the wild though. When I was a kid I found 5 swarms in
our grove in one spring. I haven't seen or heard of any wild ones in
maybe 20 years.
Bye
Bob
