I see requests for help removing hives often on a facebook beekeeper page "Beekeeping in Louisiana" and craigslist. You could put an ad up stating you want a swarm and people will call. I'd put in the ad the areas you're willing to collect them from. Some people brave enough I've seen charge a fee to go get them and take them away. Others just do it for free to keep the honey bees. I would also state you're only wanting a honey bee swarm! Lol everyone will call you for wasp removals!
I am a wasp assassin. It pleases me to take down nest lol we have a honey bee hive on the property.they're going on their 2nd year and love the gardens the the fish pond, I am allergic to stings and had violent deadly reactions as a child but have epi pens available in case but never have I been bothered. I stalk them for pics even and they just mosey aboutcalm is the key. Panic sends a signal they can literally smell and target that to save the queen...don't be scared tho, they really are peaceful. save a hive. Please save some bees. They are so incredibly important to our survival and dying out so fast
They love the Mexican tarragon and orange peels in the compost lol

I'm not sure that rescues count. You didn't set out to get them, they were a good deed. They are "neutral" and shouldn't count in chicken math.

Someone I know on FB commented that the "checkered, poofy headed chickens" freak her out. (in reference to some pictures I posted of my spitzhaubens) I just don't get not-chicken people. lol. I don't think most people truly realize that most chickens aren't boring, generic white or brown round things. I guess I've gone so far over the "crazy" line, I can't see the other side of it anymore!![]()
