This is a awkward one..i have a friendly couple who are desperate to get rid of the bees from their house but do not have the funds to have the house pulled to bits to have a clean cut out performed..it is a swarm that arrived around five weeks ago the bees are in between the front room ceiling and below the toilet floor boards..they also do not want to kill them..
So this is the only option i can offer them but please feel free to add anything that can help..
The hole in the brick wall is around 10ft high..my plan is to fasten two strong brackets to the wall to take the weight of hive..i will then put a 22mm piece of pipe into the hole the bees are using and put the other end into a pre drilled hole into a hive full of drawn foundation..my theory is that the bees might prefare the drawn comb above them and eventually move out of the house and up into the hive on the outside..any help or advice is much appreciated..
