I do bee removals now and then and a fellow called me one afternoon to come
and look at a swarm that had just moved into the wall of his house. When I
got there later in the day he told me that they had left.

His teenage son play's electric guitar in a heavy metal rock band. The son
put a couple of amplifiers against the wall and commenced to play some heavy
metal for around a half hour and then the bees took off for quieter
surroundings.
