Honey Bee Removal from weatherboard shed

(1/1)

Tauseef:
Hi
I had someone requested to remove a established colony, residing inside a weatherboard wall of old shed
I have been told that bees living for 5 years. I was also told that they are aggressive to people who go close to the entrance while lawn mowing.
Would that bee worth a job to do so, I am concern these would be aggressive bees
Relocating in urban backyard might be nuicence to neighbours and kids.

Any advise would be appreciated

Thanks

Acebird:
Last thing you want to do is relocate them.

iddee:
Charge a minimum 450 AUS. dollars for the job, then requeen them. It is a 3 to 9 hour job for 2 people, so don't do it for free.

Acebird:
It is also 30 days of aggressive bees to deal with back at the homestead.

iddee:
New queen will settle them down some, and the aggressiveness may be coming from something at the shed.
A few hundred bucks makes it worthwhile and if they are too aggressive at home, they can always be taken care of there.
