I just aquired a swarm of bees in one of my front trees. The hive is the size of a basketball and I'd rather someone come get them that will use them other than having my pest control guy come out and kill the swarm. Regardless of what happens, I want them out of my tree. They are only 6-7 feet off the ground, so retreival shouldn't be an issue.
I've heard that swarms are worth money. I don't want any money, I just want the bees gone.
If you are in the Dallas, TX area and would like a free bee swarm, please give me a call. I'll be around all weekend.

It's a waste of money to call a pest control company. Even if no one comes to get them, they will move on in a few hours to a couple of days. In the mean time, they are no threat to anyone.
call your local sheriffs office, they should have the contact info on someone who will want to get them.
and they will charge less than an exterminator.

yup, they don't hang around to long. DON'T spray them with water or anything to get them to move. it won't work, and what was a gentle group of bees looking for a new home, will be pretty ticked off.
I will give you a call in the morning.
This swarm has been taken care of.
And:
YAY, my first swarm!!!!
good for you!! pictures? story??
Great job on getting the swarm Patook!
