I’m a beekeeper... but not by choice. Wish I could find someone to come move this wild hive, I can’t because I’m allergic to them. And I don’t want to kill them. Bees are good critters. lol

Call your county extension agent. They might have a list of local bee keepers that might want to come and take it off your hands.

Feral bees that over winter and survive on their own have the best genetics for the particular area. They are worth a gallon of honey if they can get at them.

Contact your Co-Operative Extension office,
as they generally have a list of bee keepers who look for wild hives
especially they are valuable to a bee keeper in the Spring !
Alternative sources : Farm Bureau, or Farm supply store, or local Agriculture college.
Most people don't know the difference between : honey bees, wasps, hornets, or ground bees.

Have you been to the E.R. over a sting? If not, you are not allergic. I thought I was too; turns out I just had bad anxiety.
Where are you? I have removed hives before. From Oak’s to home eaves.
