I got a possible client that wants me to remove bees from inside a live tree and keep the tree alive. She tells me the entry to the hives is about 6 feet up and it is a knot hole. Is there a way to remove the bees and save the tree?
Maybe I should use a trap-out, but it seems to be a lengthy and not full proof method.
I was thinking of drilling a hole above or perhaps below the hive, which ever is needed. Spray a product like Bee Quick or Bee Go below the bees and use my bee vac on top hole. Then leave the combs behind and screen wire shut the entries on the tree. I don't know, just a thought.
