I'l hack the nest off and place it in a shoebox. I'm unsure of the gestation period, so if you receive a package that emits a droning noise, you may want to put on a hat and have some Mortein close to hand.
Can you both post videos of all this on YouTube?

Bees love the open fermenters used for red wine, many hundreds drown in there. When picking grapes you have to accept you will get a few stings. Grapepicking isn't a good job if you have bee allergy.
Some have suggested that with so many dead bees in red wine, anyone with bee-sting allergy should avoid red wine. you would be amazed how many insects get into wine.
Euro wasps can be rampant some years down here Greg.L, I've seen the buggers destroy tons of wine-grapes. Mechanical harvesters bang all sorts of **** out of vineyards into the bins. Fermentation is a wonderful thing. As is fining and filtration and best not knowing anyway. ha.
