The usual answer to this is to call a beekeeper who will take then away and add them to his stock somewhere else.
They're a tiny group of non-honey bees so no beekeepers are going to be bothered about them. Can probably move them a foot every couple of days, if they struggle with that then no wonder they're going extinct.ScotHill said:

And the nest will be abandoned by about July, and best strategy is to leave it where it is with an upturned bucket or plant pot over it ensuring there is a gap for them to get in and out.
