Last weekend I found a honey bee in the front garden. It was out of energy. I gave it some honey. 5 minutes later it flew off.
Thank goodness it did not need the kiss of life.

The only place that is annoying is inside my car while I'm driving. If I can't remove them the only option is to kill the poor devil.

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.

Originally posted by Lockhouse View PostThree 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?
