Free colony of bees

Can anybody help?

I have a colony of bees which was a swarm from last year which are now aggressive. I can no longer keep them where they are, they need to be moved. They are in a 12 x 14 national.

I am giving them away. Does anyone in the Chester or Wirral area want this colony as I have no where to now house them? I can deliver.

Have you considered re-queening? If your a member of your local association some kind member may be able to give you a frame with eggs/larvae then kill her.
Pop the frame in and all should be ok.
