I have heard of several folks that do this for a living.

It is called catching a swarm.

Do you make a living doing this?

I hunt established wild colonies. Learned it from my grandfathers in early 1960s. Great outdoor activity for young and old. It is part of my heritage. When we find a hive friends that keep bees will help hive and keep them. No $ involved, just trade. I have found wild hives in some surprising places. BT
