I have been working part-time at Guilford Technical Community College in Jamestown, NC. The LRC (Learning Resource Center) where I work has a bee colony or colonies that are living in the wall, and are becoming a problem to the faculty, staff & students. This problem has been going on for some time, but is coming to a head. One staff member has been stung already, and we are concerned that someone with a bee allergy might be stung as well.
The bees have been extremely active this summer, and there have been days when several hundred bees will be found dead in Room 325 when we come in to work in the morning. The facilities department of GTCC has hired well-known pest company to exterminate the bees, but they haven't been successful. They said that they also contacted two beekeepers who do extractions, but because this is such a complicated job, they were not interested
...not sure who they talked to, or what was said. It is a complicated situation, as the building is brick and concrete block and the colony or colonies seem to be nesting in between the inner and outer wall.Since people in my department know that I keep bees, they asked if I would post something on the board and see if someone would be interested in talking to us about removal.
Would anyone be interested in coming and surveying the situation and perhaps give us a quote for coming and removing the colonies? At this point, we don't have too many other options except extraction. I would also appreciate a referral, if no one is interested directly.
Thanks so much!!

Not worth killing the bees I would think. 
I just find it ironic that an institution of "higher" education would be this stupid.
