Swarms are tame. No honey or brood to protect. They WANT a new home. Generally, you can slowly put your hand inside the center and not be stung

I would call that a swarm, not a beehive.

LOL, who gets the honey?

My neighbor found a large bee hive in his tool shed - immediately called the city, they wouldn’t remove it and suggested he call in a professional - he found one that wanted $800 to take it out. Neighbor has kids and was afraid they’d get stung. Finally had it removed - lots of bees around right now so I suspect they’ll build another hive somewhere close.

I hear the bee population has been decimated - but around here that doesn’t seem to be the case, they are buzzing everywhere now that everything is in bloom. I need them for my fruit trees!

Weird thing is he has gloves in his back pocket, didn't use them.

Not sure what to think about his mental processes.

There is a national hotline to report swarms and hook people up with a local beekeeper at : beeswarmed.org

I have picked up bee swarms bare handed, placed them in cardboard boxes and taken them home in the trunk of my car. Bee swarms are incredibly gentle.
