I ran into that situation a couple times the last 8 years in Texas. My barber shop sells local grown honey, so I got the beekeeper's phone number from the label on the jar. I called him up and he came and got the hive (was inside a 55 gal drum).

The other hive a few years later was up high in the peak of my roof eave, so he couldn't get them. I had to call a bee removal guy who sprayed them with pyrethrum...took two applications a couple weeks apart. Seemed like such a waste.

Couldn't do that in this situation since the hive was 15ft inside the wall of the apt building. I had to kill them. They got in the wall from the exhaust whole for the bathroom vent. something like that. They were able to get into my apt because of some tiny crack in the wall by the window. At least that is what the maintanence man said though i dont believe him bc the bees, after being sprayed, arent going to fly out of the whole and then into my room through the crack in the window. The whole had to have connected to the air condition vent. Though i do believe that crack in the wall by the window caused a wildew buildup on the window ledge.

Prayers sent
