Itβs actually crazy cause my twitter feed today threw up a βCreg Wrongβ post about him after a new hive and queen. π€·π»ββοΈπ€·π»ββοΈπ€·π»ββοΈ
If you donβt do anything with them theyβll move on by themselves once they find a nice spot to go toβ¦ a couple of days max
For me Iβd be collecting them myself and providing them a home π
Why would he charge you to remove?! A nice accessible colony like that Iβd go out and remove them for free. Itβs the best way to start a new hive.
If you had a home for them you could just scoop them up.
This is what Iβm hearing from a teacher at a local school that had to get some removed this year.
Iβm told that they will move on when they are ready.
They are in a quiet part of our place, will just leave them π and monitor. πππ»
Lol - what a scam!
It's like charging someone to go to their BBQ, drink their beer & eat their meat.
I could understand paying them if it was in an inconvenient spot like your roof. If it's in your garden & he doesn't want them, I'd just let them bee. π
It is prolly a swarm looking for more permanent place to build comb (most likely). Swarms tend to stay around for 2-3 days or less. They generally do not sting unless seriously disturbed (like with a baseball bat or broom). If they are not too close to your kidβs play area, or pet traffic, let them βbeeβ until they move on.
Seen them get rid of wasps by just covering the hive with a bucket of gas and they fall in, this is much bigger though, also as said not kind to nature at all.
