Default Re: Unwanted bee colony!

There should be a local bee keep who'd be happy to take them off your hands for free. This is the best time of year to capture a swarm (spring) when they have all summer to build up their honey supplies and have swarmed because they are half of a healthy colony and not because they were a sick colony (late summer of fall). They are worth money to the bee keeper and all you need is the queen and a few other workers and the rest of the colony that is left will disappear with the queen gone.
