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




Contact a local beekeeper. You won't be able to harvest honey from a 35
gallon pot, but I think a beekeeper might can coax the bees into a
commercial bee hive, and the bees will transfer the honey and brood to
their new home.

I wouldn't attempt it this time of year in most climates because the
bees will use up their store of honey to make new comb; then they'll be
in trouble for winter. In zone 10, you're probably OK.

All this is assuming they are honeybees.
