if you are not willing to impose your will on bees to some extent then you ain't going to get no honey. Remember though, if the bees don't like your hive then they will leave. So in that way it is a voluntary relationship. I guess the trick is to find a swarm (that does not belong to another beekeeper who is looking for it) and shaking the limb it is on into your hive so that the queen falls in. Or just buy bees.
