on labor day about 5pm we noticed a lot of honey bees around our back door. we went out a different door and realized we had a swarm on the house. i pm'd the local county bee group and they told me to post the swarm for the local keepers to come get. then a SECOND swarm showed up. none of the locals would come help as the bees went into the roof. so the county bee group recommended honeybee rescue. we were very concerned about doing as little harm to the bees as possible, but we also had to remove them fast as we are roofing that part of the house in 4 days. ty came out with his partner and spent the morning removing the bees. there are still some stragglers but ty told us that they would die off over the next few weeks, and that the queen and the nucleus of the swarm was gone. they cut the side of the house for access to the roof where the swarm had settled and cleared out the bees and the beginnings of comb, then sealed it back up. we have to replace the siding as it was cracked anyway. (we have extra siding) so i think this was the best solution. honey bees are so endangered that it is important to try and save as many as we can.i think this company did a good job, and i will recommend them if someone has a swarm show up.
