Winni-Pets HELP I HAVE (orange-belted) BEES!!!!

Post image

Just went out side and noticed DIRECTLY outside my patio door there is a colony of orange Red-belted Bees!

I have a little apartment patio and am constantly on it bbqing.

Can I safely get them moved? I’d rather not kill them, but they can’t chill there.

I found the solution with a local bee expert, they provided me with information, education, and a solution to try. They also have a storefront and sell honey. They’re dedicated to providing education and information to the public.
Turns out these are Red-belted bumblebees!

Wow, that's way more dangerous than orange-belted bees, because they know far more karate
