Hi,

I have just received the request below for help with a bee nest in a house. I know nothing more that what is in the email below, but if anyone in or near to Fullerton (Orange County, California) thinks they can help Linda and Bruce -- or indeed, if anyone anywhere thinks they can help -- please contact them directly, at [log in to unmask]

Thanks,
    Matthew

Hi, We live in Fullerton, California, Orange County.
Our problem is a bee hive in a large post supporting the house roof overhang in our front yard.  I do not know how to remove the bees and if I don't have to destroy them it would be the best solution.  I am writing to see if there are any beekeepers in my area with a solution to my problem.  I have had a quote of several hundred dollars to remove them but we cannot afford this cost.  Since they are located just a few feet in front of my front door you can understand this is a major problem.  We have already had to relocate our mail box to continue delivery of our mail.
Thanks for any solutions you may have for us...Linda and Bruce Whitaker
