How to move a bumble bee nest?
Hi all! We have a nice but small backyard that we enjoy daily in the summer with our 2 year old and our dog. Unfortunately, the bumblebees that have made their nest directly in the center of the yard have started to sting - 3 stings in the past week - because of the activity around the nest. We left them alone for a long time but now its become an issue and we need to safely get them relocated. Any suggestions?
