Honey bee swarm collection or Colony "Cut-outs" from exterior buildings.

Description

Hello I am interested in collecting honey bee swarms. This is a natural cycle of reproduction for honey bees that happens during spring and throughout summer into the fall. When a colony grows to a size to large for its current hive space/cavity the colony will split into sub colonies with new queens looking for their own hollow wooden space to call home. When this happens they ball up on a tree branch a bush or on a park bench/street sign ect. While scouts look for potential new homes. During this time they can be easily captured and put to work in a bee hive. I am also willing to "cut-out" colonies that have taken up residence in exterior walls and buildings for a minimal fee without destroying the honey bees and also providing a safe new space for them to call home.
