     My brother, a non-beekeeper, tells me a story of an Australian
     beekeeper faced with an established hive inside an overstuffed chair
     sitting on an outdoor porch.  Not wishing to destroy the chair, either
     to remove bees or by leaving honey to ooze out and create a problem,
     he used a method I have never heard of anywhere else.
 
     A "No Pest Strip" was placed some distance from the colony entrance (I
     do not know what the distance was, but far enough away to avoid a
     direct kill).  After a few (How many?) days the bees simply left
     (absconded).  The honey was later robged out and the chair recovered.
     (Hopefully the entrance was eliminated.)
 
     I do not have any further information on this method.  I have never
     tried it and probably wouldn't without an appropriate set of dire
     circumstances.  Anyone care to admit knowledge of such a method?
