I see it as greed.

I mean come on, he’s getting a free hive!
This is what I’m hearing from a teacher at a local school that had to get some removed this year.
I’m told that they will move on when they are ready.
They are in a quiet part of our place, will just leave them 🐝 and monitor. 🙏👍🏻
Yeah they will send out scouts bees and eventually find a new hive. Once they locate a suitable location they will all move to the new hive.
If someone calls me and says they have free bees, I’d come grab them and bring a jar of honey to thank them.
