How can I get rid of honey bees in the stucco of my house?

There is a small opening between the roof and the stucco where the honey bees enter. The exterminator I called won't touch the bees. He said to call the bee experts but it could be costly.How can I get rid of honey bees in the stucco of my house?
In Florida feral swarms of bees are partially africanized (partly killer bees, partly has a long explanation). They are aggressive and that is why pest control people do not want to handle them. Also, the bees build comb and store honey in their ';nest';. If they have been there very long, there can be alot of wax comb and honey inside of your wall. If you just remove the bees, this leaves a food source for other bugs, and pheromones the bees leave behind will attract other swarms of bees.


Bee keepers may or may not want the bees. They are working to keep the africanized bees out of their colonies, and the cost of removing a swarm of bees from a structure may not be worth the work required to get them.


The ';costly'; part of removing the bees is the carpentry work necessary to get at the nest to remove the comb, etc. .


If you are sure they have not been there long, caulk up the opening where the bees are entering/leaving. They may find another exit, so you may have to repeat the process.


Call your county agricultural extension service if you need more help. They have contacts with bee experts and bee removal people in your area.

dont touch them...they are going extinct....think about the honey....
If I were you, I would leave it to the professionals to remove the bees. You don't want to disturb the hive and have them attack you or others around you. Call around and see if they can give you a free estimate for removal. Oh, and no service charge to drive out to get the free estimate. You can probably do the stucco damage yourself.
Just spray some kerosene in and around the opening
There is a shortage of honey bees you could probably contact a bee keeper and he would probably remove them for free
contact a beekeeper- that way you can save the bees %26amp; the beekeeper can extend more life by using queen bees to extract the worker bees .





with all the mites destroying the honey bees-GIVE THEM A CHANCE------ THE FARMER
