FYI, I talked to everyone involved in this thread and the homeowner, and I'm going to go and get them this evening for free as a public service, thinking "How hard can it be to get bees out of a water meter hole?"

I'll let you know what actually happens and how naive I've been.

This is a nice source of a new queen if you need one, or a small colony to put in a nuc as an insurance policy

Someone in the household has an Epi-pen, so concerned about bee stings

Would you be interested if she bought some honey?
