Bee Hive Removal Suggestions
Posted on 4/20/15 at 1:02 pm

Noticed a ton of bees entering my house by the gas line of a gas lantern. Appears they have built a hive between the 1st and 2nd floor of our house. I am trying to find a bee keeper or someone who can remove it. Does anyone have any suggestions?
So you know killing them is not an option because the hive will rot and stink up the house. So either way will have to remove bricks from house and get the hive out.

When I was a kid we had a bee hive inside an oak tree close to the house. A bee keeper set up a bee hive box close to the tree. He then covered the opening/hole where the bees were coming and going. The cover over the hole in the tree had a cone sticking out with a small hole in the end where the bees could get out but not get back in. The hive relocated to the bee hive box and he took them away.

Check closely that it is honey bees. Thought I had bees last summer and it turned out to be small yellow jackets upon closer inspection.They made a nest inside my wall cavity, once I knew it was yellow-jackets I just waited until night and sprayed the entrance for a few days each night.

Just throw rocks at it; they'll get the hint and leave

It's not necessary to kill the colony. Back in my beekeeping hobbyist days I removed a colony using the screen wire cone method. I didn't do it exactly like the video. Eventually all the bees in the unwanted hive in your house will leave and take up residence in the new hive. The queen in your house will die. Then it's time to take the cone off so bees from your new hive can go in and remove any remaining honey. Then move the new hive to a new location at least 5 miles from the house. Seal up all possible entrances around your gas line or you may have another swarm establish a colony next spring.

Hmm, we need more info. Would you consider strapping a gopro to your head and crawling in to locate the hive?
