Some bees have established a home in a not so good place on my Southern California property. How do I get them moved to a better place? A local commercial beekeeper offered to to it for $250. Would it be realistic to hope for another (amateur?) beekeeper to be interested in taking the colony for free? If so, any suggestions on how to find such a person?
You could maybe check Facebook for any beekeeping communities in your area and see if anyone is interested.
