swarm-list Mailing List: Re: Fwd: Urgent - Removal of bees

[Gerald Przybylski (gtp000000]

    Oh! 
    
    I don't know what the cross-section of the chimney is, but my
    experience with flue-liners (the clay pipe kind) 
    is that the area is about half a square foot.  like 12" x 6" on the
    inside. 
    That brick structure looks wide enough to allow for a gap between
    the bricks on the side and the flue liner in the middle.
    Getting the bees out of that gap would require some deconstructing
    of brickwork.  
    i.e. not the usual case of bees between the wall of the house and
    the chimney.  
          Not in the stud-bay in the wall of the room adjacent to the
    chimney. 
    
    I hope I'm wrong.
