I'd say the hive is swarming mate.
Anyone around you keep bees?
It's a good way to start a new hive.

Apparently the local “bee man” charges $50 for removal… and he starts a new hive with them! 😂😂😂
It’s actually crazy cause my twitter feed today threw up a “Creg Wrong” post about him after a new hive and queen. 🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️
Why would he charge you to remove?! A nice accessible colony like that I’d go out and remove them for free. It’s the best way to start a new hive.
If you had a home for them you could just scoop them up.
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.
Lol - what a scam!
It's like charging someone to go to their BBQ, drink their beer & eat their meat.
I could understand paying them if it was in an inconvenient spot like your roof. If it's in your garden & he doesn't want them, I'd just let them bee. 😂
