When called to get bees out of anything that requires removal of any kind of
structure I
flat out say no thank you.   It is always amazing if someone wants you to
remove bees
and you have to get behind the wall by removing something .. how they expect
you to
repair or replace anything better than before.... Not sure how much the
freebees are at
that point.

I talked to an exterminator the other day who told me they are by law not to
destroy
honey bees.   And if you are worried about charging... The pest control
agent charges
a fee just to come out to the house see what you have and if they are honey
bees they
tell you they can't kill them and charge you the visit fee.

Did someone say freebees?
