When pest control removes a bee hive…is the colony destroyed?

A swarm of bees have made their home in a restaurant’s wall. From what I gather, they plan on having it removed “for safety reasons”. If the colony is removed, will it be destroyed? If so, is there an alternative? I have had some experience with bees in the past, and seem to recall a guy who could remove swarms from buildings without destroying them. Honey bees have had it rough lately with an influx of diseases and parasites…the lack of respect they receive form the public is appalling, without the pollination of the honey bee agriculture would be in real trouble!
