I was contacted by an individual who has a colony that just recently occupied a space underneath his sunroom in Liberty, NC. Sounds as though they will be an easy removal. I don't have the time and he said that he is going to "Sevin" them if not removed by end of day tomorrow. Anyone interested please PM me and I will give info tonight.
Thanks

I have tried several people without any luck as to get a taker.
I personally do not have the time or would try and help.
I am assuming they want this done free of charge?

I guess those bees will bee no more. :cry:

I don't know what it would take as far as a cutout or trap out but If its something I can handle I am willing to get the bees if someone will come and get them from my place put them in their own equipment and take them home. I came through the winter with 2 hives and now have 5 hives and a nuc and am not looking to expand any more right now. Let me know.
If anyone has other ideas please post them or send a PM.

I had originally quoted $50 to pay expenses and he agreed to that amount. But I had to come immediately which was not possible.

Talked with Mrs M this morning (May8th)and she said her husband got stung going to his garden so he sprayed them with seven (sp) last night.
