Bees in the walls...

[K guarnotta]

Hi Guys, It has been quite a while since I've been on here. 

I've got an issue - where a queen has set up inside the wall of my house. These were not my bees - someone elses.  I think it was a swarm from one of his hives. He missed it happening. 

Now I've got these bees in the exterior wall of my house, and I don't know how to get them out. I don't want to kill them, and could possibly deal with opening the wall - (as I am a carpenter) but I don't know how to open the wall/ceiling up without getting stung a million times. 

I've had a trap out recommended to me - and see this info -

I just don't have the bandwidth right now, as I'm trying to move myself...Anyone interested in attempting this - or some other method, and getting yourself a bunch of bees?

Please let me know...of if you have other ideas?

thanks,

-Kevin

Hi Kevin,

It's been a while but I did a number of these in the past. I think we can figure out a good plan. Email or call.

Kevin,

If you have access to an Infrared camera, you can readily tell how big the colony could be…and it would help create a plan for their removal….

some questions re location - The house is in Roxbury. MY IR camera is not really cooperating these days - wont connect properly to my phone.

I forgot to mention - one recommendation is to just leave them, as long as they are not bothering anyone....that may be the way I go...

I am in Roxbury with an infrared camera. I can help you with that much. Even if you leave them, you can still get a clearer idea of where they are.
