- trolleyfan, on 11/11/2008, -0/+2I would have just called a local bee-keeper to come and get them.
- bigysmalls, on 11/11/2008, -0/+2I think this is in Australia given the use of metric measurements and colloquialisms. Despite the drought we have plenty of bees thank you.

- apairyguy, on 11/24/2008, -0/+1Please don't kill the bees. My husband has been a beekeeper for years. Every spring we get calls from people who have swarms of bees in their yard and we gladly go out and get them. For free! By evening we have the queen and all the bees in their new box and we either bring them home or give them to another beekeeper who could use another hive. Ecowarrior is correct - we are in the middle of a massive bee die off and we should do what we can to help.
- Bhima, on 11/11/2008, -0/+1Hey man, I'm with you here. You don't need to kill all the bees. You can move them!!!

Can't fault a homeowner for doing what he has to do. There may be free resources as apairyguy says, but good luck finding them. Sad as it is, sometimes you have to burn the little buggers.
- lisavilisa, on 11/14/2008, -1/+2it's probably poisoned now.
- apairyguy, on 11/26/2008, -0/+0I think the free resources you'll find are those that keep bees as a hobby and enjoy them. Actually when someone calls us and asks if we want the swarm we let them know they are doing us a favor and saving us money. For us to order a new queen costs approx. $15 to $18.00 and to order a 2 lb. package of bees cost us approx. $70.00. I guess a lot has to do to with where you live. We live out here in the country and there are several places we'll drive by and see hives on someones property. And then in the city we also know of a few people who have hives. All I'm saying is if you can find someone like that you'd be better off than calling some professional business to come out and like Alheithinn stated you probably would be charged a lot. And since a lot of bee hives are dieing off due to disease, bad winters, and with this latest disorientation crisis they could help you and in turn you would be helping them, too.

- apairyguy, on 11/24/2008, -0/+0This is sad. You had a beautiful swarm of healthy bees and you killed them? My husband is a beekeeper and he would have gladly come out or any other beekeeper would have come over and by evening had the queen and all the bees in their new beebox and either kept them for us or given them to another beekeeper who could use another hive. We get calls every spring from people who have swarms in their yard and we'll gladly go out and get them. For free!
