We have a spontaneous swarm which has covered a metal woodduck house in our yard. The thousands of bees are producing layers and layers of honey combs of a good size. Should we ignore the whole thing or is it worth pursuing to retrieve the honey and the wax. Any help would be appreciated. Our phone number is 248-693-0489 and we live in Oakland Township. Thanks
