There are no native honey bees in North American, all of the āwildā hives are various strains of European honey bees that have escaped from bee keepers... that might be a bit of a generalization... as feral hives cast swarms too, so some āwildā hives could come from other āwildā hives etc..
but in any case for the most there isnāt any difference in ādomesticatedā bees and āwildā bees...
So more or less, all honey bees in North America are the same... the big exception would be Africanized bees which are very aggressive and can be dangerous... it would be unlikely that you would have those in North Florida... but i THINK it is technically possible for your location... Iām not certain about that though
since your bees are in a big red oak tree, removing them without destroying the hive or the tree is a bit of a low odds proposition...
generally bee keepers will do a ācut outā for hives that make a home in the wall of a building or an old tree that is being removed anyway... but capturing the queen without cutting the tree is just kind of lucky...
but you can search for bee keepers in your area bee and they might come look it over and would likely know if your area has had africanized bees ...
Iām not on Facebook, but my state has a state beekeepers group on FB where folks post messages about hives they would like help with, and there are always beekeepers in the area that are interested in obtaining a new hive, so it generally works out for all involved ....
