Bee Hive in Tree

[DougB]

I have a Bee hive in an oak in my front yard aboit the size of a beach ball. Is anyone aware of a beekeeper in the area that would come out and remove it?

Do a search on this site for"beekeeper". You'll find a thread from 8/24/15 that has some suggestions.

DougB, Thank you for going for the bee keeper, bees are very important, and we are losing them. Thank you for not spraying and killing them.

We had a bunch of bees staying in a tree in front of the villa we were renting. After three days, they all flew away.

That may have been a swarm as opposed to permanent residents. sometimes bees decide to leave the hive and go somewhere else.
