I have access to 100+ acres of neglected woods within easy walking distance of my house. I have never seen even one feral colony take up residence in any of the countless hollow trees. A neighbor about two miles from here showed me one a few years back. That compared to dozens of managed hives in the neighborhood. The idea that the woods are full of wild bees makes me laugh.
