Bobby submitted the same story, commenting Last week, we had several hundred bees relocated from a valve box in our front flower bed. We gave the honey to the bee-movers.

#6  Way back in 1971 a buddy and I were cutting pine trees for lumber when we cut down one with a honeybee hive. I didn't realize how fast we could run. We came back later and got most of the honey. Best I ever had. It was a sweet reward for all the bee stings.

With Pure Organic Honey at $14+ a LB.
It's a ROI worth a string of 2.

Sold at roadside stands or Flea Market tables. It is all NET unreported pocket $$$$.🐝

BTW: notice the KILLER BEE Bait Click stories are dying out also.

#3  Oh I dunno, I think all the other 11 hives are surviving just fine (with new queens), with many more hive well established, elsewhere.

That's the thing about swarming behaviors, bees will leave their hives and establish a new hive somewhere else (typically in tree hollows or some other hollow places like walls, etc.) especially when the queen die.

Cleaning the old hive is essential for getting a new queen to stay in the hive box.

Your local state university is an excellent resource on bee keeping, moving hives from the wild back into the boxes and so on.

#2  I don’t know… our partners had 14 hives here three years ago and only three are surviving.
