We had to do this once.

Hmmm, how dissappointing, I thought this was going to be a thread about hair styles from the 60's




Sorry, I have nothing useful to offer other than my wife says that if the bees have been established once, then it may hapen again later even if they are completely removed this time as they leave scent markers etc behind apparently that can bring others there to swarm...

If uou can get in in there: Petrol.

Then drop some of the toilet freshener blocks in the walls. The bees can't stand the smell and won't come back as it masks the previous scent that attracts the next lot.

Wouldn't you have to pee in the wall first.

If you don't have any other option to not move them unharmed.
Try this as I did with a Wasp nest in a wall.
Wait until evening when they are in the nest ( safest time) and get an old sauce squeeze bottle filled with ant and Wasp Powder. Insert the sauce bottle top into the wall cavity and squeeze the contents out with a puffing action. This will coat the entire cavity with a mist of powder. Then leave the nest undisturbed. The traveling bees will pick up this powder and contaminate the nest killing all their mates Without any survivors to look after thethe Babies and the fat Queen will Die also. The powder is avail at bunnings etc
