Awe Crap Bees are swarming

[Squeak 17]

Bugger, I have just found a hive of bees in my eaves, they have only recently set up residence, I dont have any problems with them being in my yard but i cant really have them in my roof space

I'm going to have to call pest control, i would rather not, but i dont know of any options to get them from the roof and wall cavites

You could smoke them out.

good idea I'll start a fire in the wall cavity that should do it


I actually rang (called) a Bee guy, and he asked me what they were doing, then explained some bee behaviour to me and told me what I can do to make then go away and not kill them


No Bees were killed during this endeavour

A nieghbor of ours cut down a tree and a swarm of honey bees came to our yard. It was huge. They stayed for 24 hours and left the next afternoon to their new home! Kind of cool.

Squeak, I'm surprised the bee guy didn't come get them, I don't know what type of climate you're in and depending on the season, swarms are a valuable way to increase the # of hives in an apiary.
Have you considered beekeeping yourself? from what I gather- you're an educator- bees are not only an interesting and educational hobby for the young and old but they make lots of honey if cared for properly.

Think of all the mead you could make. mmmmm mead.

thats what I was going to say find local bee keeper and they will pick up for free and take them to start another hive. I did this in the past was kinda cool to watch the guy come out no gear or anything pick his way through the swam and pick out the queen then put in in a box then left the box in out in the yard for the day then cam an picked up the newly filled hive.

SO this one time at band camp.....
