>>Can anyone offere tips about how to deal with things like the
stripping of the old shingles and installation of the new ones around
the bees?
I'd attach a tarp just under the garage roof and suspend it over the
hives. The workers should be able to strip the roof and take the
tarp down in the evening.
Typical bees should not fly up over the tarp and go after the roofers
if the hives are not hit with debris.
