To: Tolerance Sucks Rocks
I need to know how to displace a hive without harming the bees and not costing me any money. They're being a major problem but I don't want to kill them.
Anyone with ideas?

There are often people in an area who will take a hive. A hive can be placed in another location by moving the queen, I believe.

Place a conical queen excluding cone in the hive entrance. The bees can leave, but not re-enter. The queen cannot squeeze out.
Place another hive on the ground below the existing hive with a caged queen inside. Each night the bees will accept the new hive over the old one. In a week, take away the new hive of which 95% of the bees will have relocated to. Then spray hive freeze into the old one to instantly kill off the few remaining bees and caulk up the hole.

Light a good little weed-fire upwind from them and they'll leave.
