There is probably one close to you. They will likely have members who will be more than happy to remove the entire colony. And, you will probably get some excellent honey.
Several members of our BeeKeepers Association remove bees either for a reasonable fee (or free). It is not difficult. They have a home built vacuum contraption that works well. They rehive the bees at another location.
I see you are in Michigan, which is well north of the Africanized line. We are on the edge in Central Arkansas, and the State (County Extension) will destroy all wild colonies if they are contacted.
Good Luck. We started 2 colonies in the Spring of 2007, and both are doing well. Low Stress, decentralized, small scale, chemical free, organic BeeKeeping may be the answer to CCD.
