Beekeepers?

Does anyone have a beekeeper contact? We have a nice little ball of bees forming (after a nice little hour or so of swarming) on our roof. A thousand or so. We contacted an apiary that says it's in the area with no answer (and they had only one rating, so probably not real) and we tried two pest control places but apparently they only exterminate which isn't great.

Worth noting: We are willing to give them a day or two to see if they move on, but want to come up with an option in case they don't move on. I'd hate to go from hoping they leave to having to do anything lethal since it's my front door and we have a lot of foot traffic.

tonyaust Do the honey sellers at the market deal with something like this? How long is the market open?

tiffani :

Dash to Town Center park since that is faster than me remembering the name on the honey vendor. They have hives elsewhere. If they don't know how to remedy your challenge, they would likely have a contact.

Oops- one day off. That is on Thursday. Hope Tony or

Cheraustin can help.

They're on my roof on the first floor side super close to the drain pipe, so accessible from a ladder.

My friend just left for her vacation she will be gone a week at garner. If they are still around I'll ask her. She needs a new queen for one of her hives. Find the queen move her then they leave easier said than done

This is a man we used. We had bees take over a 60 foot oak. He tried his best to save them but he had to kill them. The honey comb was 40

Foot and killed our tree. If I remember he was not that expensive and very professional.

Try waiting. The hive scouts are looking for a new home. Once they find one, the whole hive will be gone in 15 minutes. Bees are endangered, and key to our food supply.
