swarm-list Mailing List: Re: Extraction Oakland Hills

[Claire Lussier (lussier.claire]

I talked to Cliff about not bombing the Bees and he is very resistant to paying anyone to paying someone for an extraction. I told him what needs to be done to get the bees out and bee proof that wall or he is just going to have repeat colonization, as he does now. 

He knows what needs to happen, I think he’s going to be proof but I also think he’s going to poison the bees bc he doesn’t want to pay anyone. 

If I do there back from him I may offer to do it at a very low cost or free, just to get those bees out alive but he really has, almost, a grudge against them…

Cliff called to report bees living in the wall behind the sheetrock in the garage. He says this is not his first go-around with bees in the wall and two beekeepers came out at one point and did an extraction. He says he doesn't think they knew what they were doing because the bees are now back. He says he's about ready to drill a hole in the wall and drop a couple of "bombs" In there because he is getting fed up with "chasing the bees around". Perhaps somebody with a lot of experience could take this one to ensure that the problem is handled once and for all?
