By District 5 Public Affairs
In District 5 in February, a beekeeper was brought in to safely remove bees from inside a signpost near the intersection State Route 246 and T Street in Lompoc. (Santa Barbara County).
The bees were removed by Orcutt Bee Rescue and transported to a safe location with the agricultural community.
The beekeeper said, “It’s hard to give an exact number but there are roughly about 10,000-20,000 bees in the rescue box and they will be relocated to an apiary where they can safely thrive.”
