Honey bees will find any suitable location for their colony, and unfortunately this may sometimes include the walls of a house.  What do you do if you suspect honey bees have moved in?  The Chatham County Beekeepers Association has a few members that specialize in honey bee removals, and you can find contact information here. 

It is important NOT to spray the honey bees or their colony with a pesticide in an effort to rid them from your house.  While this will kill this colony, the comb and honey will need to be removed to prevent mice and other insects from moving in and causing more problems.  An experienced beekeeper with construction expertise will ensure that the honey bees are removed and relocated properly.  

Here are some examples of honey bee relocations, or cut outs as these are called in the beekeeping world.
