Take a rag and quarter it.  Stick each quarter on the end of a coat hanger
that has been bent straight.  Put the bee robber liquid on one and stick it
as far up in the tree as you can reach and wait.  Every 3 minutes or so
introduce another, trying to get in an area away from where you already put
one previously.  The bees should be driven out.  If the hole contihues down
in the tree as well, I put a few at the bottom so bees don't run past the
opening and down further in the tree.  Works very well if you can get above
the nest or near the top.  DO NOT get any bee robber on the opening as you
stick the rags in.
Good luck,
James Ireland
