beekeeping question.?
My neighbor's boyfriend just moved his honey bee hives to her property yesterday morning, & my house is being swarmed. I read that he was supposed to keep them covered for couple of days, & he didn't do that. I read June was a bad month to move too. He says the bees shouldn't be bothering us, but they are swarming my a/c units & other places. I am a gardener and have never fear bees, but I developed a life threatening allergy to bees a few yrs ago. I still garden. In fact, I run a small perennial nursery, & I'm outside a lot. I'm just more aware of the behavior of bees, so that I don't invade their territory. I don't work in the same area that they are working in, etc. I've only been stung 3 times in 3 yrs, but always at someone else's yard. That is why I know these bees are agitated. I have a yard full of flowers, literally 100's blooming right now. Yet the bees are hanging around my driveway & a/c units. They are zooming us with close to the head flybys. Does anyone know how long it will be b4 they calm down? Is this usual with moving them? I don't know how far they were moved btw. We are all very tolerant of our neighbors here. I just want to know how long I should plan to stay inside. I have a helper coming to work in the garden that I need to schedule. Thx
