Hi Trish, Thanks for the note re: the bees under shed. My experience with these "subterranean" living bees is that they are of "African genetics" this means that they will be mean and aggressive while removing them and pose a risk to any surrounding life (people animals and pets) and will be the same at the new location. Additionally, they will require the purchase of a new domesticated queen and 3 months of aggressive behavior to endure while the old bees are phased out and replaced by the new queen. Save yourself some liability risk and grief by contacting an exterminator. I strongly urge you to!! charlie p.s. they may seem non aggressive now but just try to disturb them in anyway and they will be mean from that time forward.
