Anyone know a local bee keeper?

I know several in the Folsom/Covington area if you can't find one closer I can give you a few names.

Also.... Have fun this is a MAJOR PIA and most of the time expensive to remove and repair after removed. I will for you in advance, had this issue twice now....

Dupe

I've got the equipment for smoke but I've never used it (just went to classes). Pretty sure the smoke just makes them docile but won't get rid of them. I suggest you use a real beekeeper. They're usually grateful to obtain a colony.

I think the owner of Garret Neal Salon is a beekeeper. Can't remember if it was him or one of his friends. Garret Neal is his name lol

There are several around that area. I will try to get number. You still have a need OP?

Deseret Raw Honey. He lives in St Amant. (225) 323-3963

His name is Micheal. He's a good guy. There's one in Livingston I might be able to get a number for if you like.

Yes but only Alabama. Sorry buddy

A friend ordered some bees in the mail years ago. He had to pick them up at the main post office, and they were in a box with screens for air and bright warning labels that it contained live bees.

In the parking lot, a lady who resembled Oprah asked, “Do you really have bees in that box?” He said, “Yeah. Do you want to see them?” She hollered, “You better not bring them bees over here!!”

Bees always make me think of that and laugh.
