Hi, not posted on the forum for awhile but have a small problem that I need a little advice on and I know this is the place to get the help.
A friend, local to me, has a problem with a nest. They are in the roof area over the front of his downstairs frontroom window. There is no access on the inside of the house; if you can imagine an area in the shape of a 3 x 4 x 5 triangle covered with tiles on the outside, listed building too, to make it a little more difficult!!
They need to be moved (they attack him when he mows the front lawn), my problem is how to extricate them from there.
My own thought are to drill a small hole on the inside and smoke them and have a bait hive outside to draw them in. Is that an idea that would work?
Thanks for your help, in advance.
As an aside, both my hives have bee activity so have survived the winter so far and I am over the moon. As it was warm today I gave them some sugar, fingers crossed.
Hope you all have the same experience in this new year.
Regards
Alan
