Help!! I have a swarm of bees in my house!!

[WCB]

I was out watering some plants and noticed several thousand (yes, several thousand...) honey bees swarming in my front yard. As I watched them, they headed to a broken brick on the front corner of my house and went in (yes, in...)
Short of removing a wall, is there a way to coax them out and then repair said brick? Or kill, plug and hope they don't decide to extract revenge by ripping the sheet rock out and attacking me in my sleep like a cheap scary movie?
Momma ain't happy right now. And we all know what that means...
Any ideas will be attempted. Anyone got a video recorder I can borrow???

[maglite]

You better MAKE THE CALL!!!! If the honeycomb starts running down your walls your in BIG TROUBLE or if the bees start moving through the wall!!

Call a honey bee expert.......that is my best advice.......

We get them at the ranch and we just put one of the pest strips in the hole they go in and they are dead. You may try it.

I guess I could cover myself with thick hunting clothes, headnet, thermacell and a big azz fly swatter and rip the sheet rock out and...
Oh crap, this ain't gonna be good...

[bowhuntertex]

Just remember Mike it is all about the video

[bigmactog]

since there is a shortage of bee's it might be best to try and save them first. Smoke works great but like "maggie" (maglite) said you better call and expert for removal. Oh, BTW be careful they like to hang together........

I think calling a bee expert is the thing to do. I don't think you really want to kill them inside the wall. I can't even imagine what several thousand rotting bee corpses would smell like. Perhaps there's some way that they can be trapped. Best of luck! I'll be interested to see what happens.

my thoughts exactly Sir

I would do a search for "Beekeepers in Texas" , find one who is close, and maybe he/she will come remove the hive for a nominal fee.

I have a bee keeper coming in the morning. They say they can get'em out. It'll take about 5 days total but also have a guarantee/warranty.
Lady told me I should have fixed the brick awhile back. I said duuuuh...
And I get the senior discount!! $175 instead of $250... I don't want to hear not one senior comment either...

[BowTechAssassin]

Please call an expert. You don't want to harm little ol honey bees do you?

[pigkillin]

call an expert they got in my dads camper last year and destroyed it a bee keeper came out and removed them for him

[DXTroughneck]

Dont kill them yourself they might be africanized. They will get you if you mess with them.

Glad you found someone. My BIL fogged a couple hundred in his shop and the smell now is getting pretty rough.
