To an extent I agree.  If you aren't comfortable doing it, walk away.  If
you are, do it right, get a boom truck if necessary, give the homeowner an
estimate  (Don't underestimate the value of your time).  If they won't pay,
then walk away.

I always hate to loose a swarm myself, but 'free' bees are far from free.
