Found Bee hive, what can we do?!

Posted by organic_sunny1 Central FL (My Page) on

I live on a cattle ranch in Central Florida. We recently came across a rather large honey bee hive in a culvert. Everyone seems to be set on spraying and destrying the hive but bees are such great pollinators it seems counter productive to destroy them. How difficult (time, money etc)would it be to move the bees to a bees box? What other options are there besides killing the hive??

I think you're in Africanized bee area,...this could be touchy.. check with local bee club or county restrictions.
