Honey bees do not fly at night. Gently move the pot about six inches each
night until you get it to where you want it. If you move it too far at
night the bees will not find the hive when they come back from there first
flight in the morning.
Harvesting the honey will be more difficult. Beekeepers make the bees put
the honey on factory made combs so it can be removed easily. In your
situation the combs must be cut out with a knife which makes the bees very
angry''. I would contact the local beekeepers club and ask for assistance
removing honey.

Hi,
situation: Bees have moved into a 35 gal. overturned black plastic nursery
pot. Observed entering and leaving the drainage holes, seems to be a

hundred
or more. Appear to be honey bees.
Question: How can this be moved about five feet without hurting the bees?
Any suggestions on harvesting honey at some point? Zone 10.
TIA -_- how
no NEWS is good
