If you find a local person they usually come and take them no charge.  Theres someone in my area who has a huge buisness usually call and they come and get them but its been 10yrs since i had to they might not now.  Dont no where your out of but Kutics Honey Farm in oxford might take care of it for you.

Some bee keepers they rent them out to farms  for pollination of plants . Pretty interesting business. 

I think bee keepers are scarce in NY . Friends of ours have a huge Apple Farm . They have paid a bee keeper from Florida to come to their orchards . The bee keeper does other farms in Wayne County also .

There was some bee virus a  few years back I remember hearing about killed off a lot of them  not sure if that effected the bee keepers  in new york . that could be the reason there scares now .

What's the cost, just wondering

They have been there for a while. The beekeeper i spoke to today said i should keep them til spring, less chance of them surviving if moved now. Its also not free to give them away. :-/

Up to $500, I think it depends on size. The way he explained depending on where it is also, they make the area almost better so no other bees move in.

I know nothing about bees except how to kill them. I also have a hornet's nest in my tree

I had honey bees in a tree that the county cut down. Didn’t know until the tree was down and they left me the logs for firewood.

I put an add on Craigslist for free honey bees. I had about 4 people contact me wanting to pick them up.

Give that I try.
