Well, that worked

The bees are in the hive, in the backyard, and have a feeder jar full of sugar water.  My neighbors across the street are all into it and ready to be given honey - the dad came and watched the bees being moved and asked a bunch of questions. Of course, they are not within that 50 ft, but still. My neighbors either side of me I can talk to, and my neighbor behind me might actually be 50 feet away from the hive. Haven't decided how to proceed yet.
