Kind of torn here, the world needs more bees and they don't seem to be aggressive (yet) but I'm really not interested in dodging a swarm everytime I go out the front door.

Might sound stupid but is there any service that will remove a hive and relocate it?

And no, I'm not going to kill it with fire.

There are several. Most of the ones I'm familiar with tend to do swarm removals, though that doesn't sound like it's your problem here. You have a hive, not a swarm.

However, I'd still start with the folks at https://calgarybeekeepers.com/ Calgary and District Beekeepers Association. If they can't help, they ought to be able to point you in the right direction.

Thanks but pretty sure they are bumble bees not honey bees.

I already contacted them thanks. Said they might know a guy and he might get back to me.

Did they say that he'll bee right back to you?

Not stupid at all. If you’re on Facebook or know someone who is, post an inquiry on one of the Calgary chat groups. I guarantee there are beekeepers who will come for them. Edit: just saw the type of bees. Now I’m not sure.
