Free Bees

Perhaps ask the extension service, or UoM etymology dept for referrals? (both are easily google-able)

Contact the Northeastern Minnesota Beekeepers Association.  They have a facebook page.

Thanks for the advice !!

I always thought carpenter bees were considered destructive (when eating into the boards on your house) and not "friendly," to me honey bees would be considered friendly. If I am mistaken can someone enlighten me?

I'm not a professional, but here's what I see on swarms --

It's awesome that you're looking to relocate, rather than just exterminate the bees!

BEES?!?!

NO! BEADS!

Carpenter bee vs. Honey bee: I think I'd choose to be a Honey bee Queen.... 

Social/Solitary
The honeybee works in a colony to take care of the young. The carpenter bee is a solitary bee.

The female carpenter bee has the ability to drill through wood and build a nest. A group of honeybees looks for a sheltered location such as a hollow tree to develop its colony.

In a honeybee colony there is a queen, who makes the eggs; a sterile female worker bee, who takes care of the young; and a male drone, who fertilizes the queen.

Because female carpenter bees take care of their own young, all adult females can reproduce.

A new honeybee queen will mate with a number of drones before flight. She will establish her new colony with a group of worker bees.

The adult female carpenter bee comes out of hibernation in spring to mate with the adult male. She then builds a nest in woody material to lay eggs.
