Bees in walls

Hi All,
Usually I post over in roses but I have questions. We have a large bee hive in a wall and we want to move them. Not kill them but move them to a new home in our yard. We have a large orchard for them to live in. I do know for a fact that we have to carefully remove the old hive so that it doesn't rot and cause future problems with mold etc.
A)My husband want's to build a bee box for them, is there a good place to find instructions on building one?
B)What's the best way to move them safely?
C)Any additional advice will be taken very seriously and appreciated.
Thank you,
Carlota - Rose lover and nature lover |

| You need to find a beekeeper that is willing to do a "cut out" removel, see if there is a local beekeepers club in your area and contact them, good luck |

| I wouldn't recommend trying a cutout for your first beekeeping experiance. Where are you in CA? If you're close enough I may be able to help. |
