Y'all are gonna hate this question: endangered stingless bees in my house, how can I relocate them by myself?
I'm not a bee keeper, I'm not trained NOTHING. I'm this sub's worst nightmare, yes. I apologize profusely.
I have 3 Indian stingless bee hives (Tetragonula iridipennis) in my house, and my family wants them away from the house. Why are they in my house? Because my dad lived here and the man didn't care about maintenance.
I cannot find a single relocator in my city (Mangalore, india), only fumigators who will kill the hives. The ones advertised as relocators don't have any idea how to, they are refusing to relocate, they claim they sting...
The hives are in 3 places:
(Pictures in comment)
Laterite stone wall that has a cable coming in. Can't do anything with this right now.
Electricity meter box: not sure about the relocation of this as I don't know if it's just in the wooden box or in the wall
An old piece of furniture, I'm wondering if I can saw it to pieces and relocate the hive - this one is the biggest.
My family is okay with relocating them to the garden, they just don't want them in the house.
I'm here for advice, please be kind, I want to save them so I would like to explore all options.
