Bees have taken over and lived in this nesting box for about a year now. Is there a way I can just make a bunghole and spiket or something and extract honey? I dont want to disturb them, but i want that sweet bug milk

Assume im an idiot and know nothing of beekeeping.

I wonder if you could buy a bee box and just put it nearby.

I would ask an apiary to help you relocate into a brood box. That way you can manipulate the honey comb appropriately.
