We have had Bees build a hive between the bricks of our house. I have been stung twice already. Once while mowing and again while taking the attached photos.
My wife had contacted someone on cl and they wanted $250 to $300 to come and get them. I am not going to put out that kind of money to "SAVE" the bees!
I have already started looking into other ways to get rid of them but if someone wants to come and trap them for free prior to me killing them... Here's Your Chance.
We live in the fountain city area and you can contact me via email if interested.
She has talked to both G3 and I about removing them. I don't think I would do the trapout now even if she was ok with the charge.
I emailed her back with the following response:
Good luck with trying to kill them. You should know that most who do try though are not successful. Because your spray cannot get to the entire hive or even reach them at all. When you spray them and its unsuccessful and then decide to have a beekeeper come remove them the charge is usually doubled because of the poison that has been used and they are then putting that into their hive, they may have to purchase new equip.
If, by some chance, you do kill the bees you still have all of the brood (unhatched baby bees), pollen, and honey left in the wall to rot and ferment. This can cause major pest problems with mice and ants. Also, once the hive is defenseless the small hive beetle, SHB, will take over the hive and leave you with another nasty mess.
Just wanted to give you some things to consider before venturing out to spray them. If they are as defensive as you said they are, two sting with out doing anything to them, you'd better protect yourself good when trying to kill them because they will come out on you. Honey bee hives generally have a range of 20,000 to 60,000 bees in a colony.
The price you have stated for a removal is about average for a trapout in this area. The beekeeper will have a lot of labor invested in those "free" bees you spoke of. Setup and labor the first day on-site usually take from 3 to 5 hours and then multiple trips to the site to trapout to check progress make adjustments, if necessary, and then the final two days of the end of the trapout has some labor involved in it two. Gas being almost $4.00 a gallon isn't cheap.
Good luck if you still insist on killing them, be safe.
