Many years ago I did a removal from under a house. The bees entered at a broken foundation vent screen. The hive was enormous and of course the crawl hole was on the other side of the house quite a distance away. What a job.
The first tool I needed was a 6 foot piece of lath to brake spider webs ahead of my crawl and to smash the Black Widows that became more abundant the closer to the hive I got.
Be alert!

WOW, underneath her crawl space.(Usually just BumbleBees go underground.) What type of a surface have they taken as their home?

Get pictures! This sounds like a unique cut out.

Some things that come to mind quickly are:

Sawzall, bottom board, empty frames to rubber band brood into, a box cutting knife, Hive tool, top cover, duct tape, smoker, a small container to put the queen in if you happen to see her, your veil, gloves, water container to wash your hands, extension cord, your bee vac if you have one, roll of paper towels, spare clothes (in the event you sweat), screen to close up the front entrance of the bee box....if I think of anything else, I'll post it.

I like using a serrated bread knife to cut combs out with. A Camel-Bak full of ice water under your suit will work wonders for your sanity. Oh...lots and lots of five gallon buckets. You can never have too many.
