Sudsy Soap water out of garden sprayer works great on those suckers, and its non toxic. ^^^^^ If you don't kill them or have them removed they will return year after year after year to the same spot. I have had them return for 5 yrs in a row to an old farm house. Patch the hole and they find another place close to set up. That may be the case some of the time but the ones that were here in an old wooden box here never returned. bees have a 5NM range. so who ever relocated your bees did not move them far.
she said ,why does that ammo have pretty green tips on it? the guy said its the eco-friendy ammo.

Dang, hate to see Honey Bees killed. Seems they been dieing off on their own the past few years. I had some here in a box like that a few years ago. I just left them alone and they left about a month later. However, it was an out of the way box.
You might see if there are any Bee Keepers in your area and get them to move them. this
signature coming soon

call your local county agent,, ask for names of local beekeepers.... beekeepers can remove them without killing them. and put them to good use. good luck!

Call around for a bee keeper. Most that are serious will come out and catch/trap whatever it is they do and take the hive. The one we use is in Dallas Co. You might call you county extension agent and see if he/she knows of one.
I'd ask him if he's pregnant. He missed a s__tload of periods. I'll take "things that look like a uterus" for $200 Alex.

Get a fly strip that has the active ingredient Dichlorvous. Throw it in, shut the lid and give it overnight, everything in there will be dead. Most fly hangars have it.
