Relocating my bees to a bee colony

I remember back a single summer time I had a very poor bee issue, then I’m not exactly sure where it started, because I had lived in this section for a long time, and I hadn’t had any issues, then it’s as if the bumble bee population went through an abrupt boom.

And I had a ton of them! I could genuinely count 100 in a morning, it was crazy! I also would always get them in our beach house all of the time, everyday it became a task of removing them.

It definitely started getting annoying, so I searched online for bumble bee help. There were a lot of results and I started studying more. I was relieved that I didn’t necessarily need a bee exterminator. There were options for non-lethal relocation for the bees. I didn’t really want to kill the bees, I just needed a way for peaceful bee removal. Thankfully there were honeybee rescues that took all kinds of bees. I determined through that website that they specialized in honey bee removal and will transfer them to a honey farm. The beekeeper then has tons of honey hives to look after, and then will collect honey. Then they would put on their website the honey for sale. I found this to be a much better option than bee eradication. I called the bee rescue arena, and they collected most of the bees. I’m not too distraught, because I guess in a few summers I will have another healthy population of bees again, but hopefully this time nothing extreme either; although at least if the population jumped, I would recognize what to do this time.
