Wild honeybee nest - How to remove?

Bees

Bees don't cause any problems to your property, and nor are you in danger of being stung if they are left alone and unprovoked. After the summer season the bees will go away and not return to the nesting site the following year. By the time a colony has become obvious its activity will be about to decline naturally. Generally, colonies formed in spring usually decline naturally by late July, if not sooner. Therefore If at all possible always bee nests alone to thrive as their presence is actually beneficial for gardeners and their crop.

Looks like ignoring them is a good option.

Try taking a wee on it.

I thought that was to relieve hemorrhoid pain? That's what the missus told me last time my grapes flared up.

Are you mad? They're an economic asset in certain niches within the Cheshire middle middle class market segment.

we've spoken to two Beekeepers and leaving them is not an option apparently as they may cause significant damage. Unfortunately it's got to be done sooner rather than later via pest control. Not covered via house insurance either.

Where in the UK are you?

I am also interested in what damage the be keepers think they will cause? ( I am not awhere of any) also this early in the season a colony of bees can sell for £200. Have the beekeepers confirmed they are honey bees? They could be tree bees (although unlikley this early on.)

As it is this early, they will swarm later in the summer (no harm to you), current queen will disappear and other cast swarms later. You may be lucky and the bees that remain don't produce a succesful mated queen for the winter and the colony will die out.

..this early in the season a colony of bees can sell for £200. ...

Stick them on ebay, buyer collects.

Three days ago a very large swarm of honeybees set up home in our gables where we'd had starlings nesting all spring.

This is twenty feet above the ground at one corner of the house so it's not the easiest to get to. If it was a wasp's next we could just smoke them out.

The pest controller said he wouldn't touch them and a man from the British Beekeepers Association says we'll need to destroy the hive which will require scaffolding and quite possibly stain ceilings with insecticide. It will also be expensive.

Has anyone had a similar bee nest removed?

Why do you want to remove the lovely bees from your house?

Cause they make a constant buzzing noise and are ******* annoying.
