Getting the honey out of that hive as it is will kill the hive and the bees are more valuable than the honey.
If you want to get into beekeeping, you’ve already got a bee source.
I have located a bee keeper, now if I can convince my husband to let someone else with the expertise, and the important ‘outfit’ to come in take the bees and leave us the honey. They actually seem real happy here. They like lots of water and the flowers are good. Seems silly but I can walk among them in the yard and it’s like they know they’re safe. I feel safet with them....until one gets me. Then it’s the highway.
