First make sure you have honey bees.


Hi,
Thanks guys for the info. I'm sure they are honey bees, they are fuzzy and
have stuff on their hind legs. Going to move them gradually and only because
my wife fears attack, I know they are basically harmless. Any harm with just
leaving them in the new location and not harvesting?
Thanks again, -_- how
no NEWS is good


No harm at all, if they overwinter and are prosperous expect them to
throw off a swarm in May or June.
A strong colony may be a bit more defensive also and you have no real
control over the bloodlines so you may get a batch of bees that are a
bit testy.
