Hello,
Thanks for reaching out and for including a photo. I don't know anyone who specializes in bumble bee relocation services. You could try reaching out to local beekeeping clubs to see if a beekeeper is interested moving the bumble bee colony, since many beekeepers have attire to protect from stings. I've learned from bumble bee experts that it can be difficult bumble bee colonies to thrive and survive after being relocated.
