Just a quick update for those of you interested.  I posted a message
yesterday concerning moving a bumblebee nest and received a couple of very
helpful suggestions.
 
Well, last night I moved the nest and it was remarkably simple.  The most
amazing thing, in my opinion, was the non-aggressive behaviour of the bees.
(The hive size was just under twenty (20).)  The bees obviously didn't like
my presence or intrusion but neither did they attempt to sting me, even
when I was grabbing them and placing them in a container for transport.
 
It was a rather interesting evening.  Thanks to each of you who responded
to my initial message.
