What to do about inconvenient honey bee swarm?

Just back your truck up and hook up your boat like you normally would. They'll leave.

What he said. They will leave within 24 hours probably less.

That would make you a Darwin Award finalist, posthumously.

Blow smoke at them. That’s what the pros do.

If you're in NOLA area, my dad and I can come get them.

Highly unlikely they stick around there and a bee keeper would probably love them. All they are going to do is find the queen, box her and put here in a box and the rest will follow.

Do what you want, don’t worry , they DO NOT BiTE this time of year





But they still sting like hell

That's a swarm, usually when they swarm they have left the nest and two branches of the family are in the process of separating. They are looking for a new hive. I think the big time bee keepers would give an eye to grab a swarm like this. Maybe put it out on a local facebook group or call the local zoo, etc... someone will know.

They will also move soon.

That’s gnarly. Long time ago I was visiting these folks in Kentwood. They had a big older house. We were sitting at the dining table and I could hear a hum. I inquired and they informed me they had a huge hive in the wall of the 2nd story but it was going to cost 10’s of thousands to remove so they lived with it.

I would have moved me

Anyone ever think about how much of a whore a queen bee is? And the worker bees are all simps

Put on a dry suit and have fresh honey rest of your life.
