"An effective natural way to get rid of bees is to use cinnamon. If you find a hive of honey bees and want them to find a new home without harming them, sprinkle cinnamon around their hive for about a week. The smell will convince them to relocate. Cinnamon is also particularly effective for removing ground bees."

"When you go to move the nest, make sure you have a real good supply of smoke, get some smoking wood and try to direct the smoke on the hive and that will keep bees away from you and even makes the bees go away."

"look for professional advice, usually a bee keeper will come out and set up a transport box[small hive] where he can entice the queen into it and the rest of the bees will follow and take them to safety"
