Question Hello,
I hope I am asking the right person. Anyway I have a honey locust tree in my front yard by the sidewalk. I have many many honey bees in the tree. They cause a danger as people are always walking by the tree. You can hear the humming of the bees around 10ft from the tree. Is there a way to safely get rid of them. Please help if you can. Thanks.
Answer Look in the yellow pages for bee keeper or call your local extension office. Honey bees, if that is what they are, are in need of our protection. So getting a qualified person to remove the hive to a new location would be an important way of protecting our environment.
