I’m not sure how many parts there are going to bee (ho ho) to this. Hopefully not many.
I went down to have a look at the swarm this morning and it’s not good. The hole the bees are using for access is rather larger than I expected. It has been used to run a cable into the house for an outside light, but the owner tells me that it has been there far longer than that. I really don’t think I can get the bees out.
It has been suggested that I use a joss stick to smoke them out, but I don’t fancy hot ash or embers dropping into a void when I have no idea what’s there. The last thing I need to do is to start a house fire. It would get rid of the bees, but it’s a little extreme.
