Who knows how to get rid of em without paying out the a$$ to have someone do it?

     go online or in the phone book for your area and find you a beekeeper , I have never heard of one charging to remove them.  that is if they are in a location he can get the queen without having to tear into a wall or something  .  what is you situation with them ? 

I think its called Bengal Roach Spray.  It comes in a small red can.  Empty that spray can into the hive entrance.  After you do that stuff the hole full of steel wool.  The bees wont be able to chew through the steel wool.  I have also been told that the bees cant chew through silicone either.  But the Bengal Roach spray should do the trick and fill all holes with the steel wool.  I have had issues with bees and this did work for me.  But you will have to completely seal the area or the bees will eventually move back into that area if they find a way in.  They can smell that honey from a long ways away and that will attract more bees down the road.  The time I messed with these bees was in the winter so I didn't have to worry about them attacking me.  I just did the work one morning when it was very cold. 

Or if you can find a bee keeper maybe he can bring some bee boxes out and get the hive moved into the boxes and he can take them away.  But this will take months. 

Goodluck

find an oldtimer that knows bees , he can get them . wild bees are gettin scarce , don't kill them .

Agreed. Why killem off, let some keeper come get them

yeah, don't kill them...

check around. i know of several folks that have been payed very well by beekeepers for the bees.

Where you located my uncle does them pretty cheap

Where are they and where are you. If you kill them the honey is trash and you have to clean it up. A good bee keeper will know how to weaken the hive then put some bee hives that have just had the honey harvested next to it, The strong hive will attack the weaker one killing the rest of the bees and taking all the honey. The bee keeper will change out his bee hives until all the honey has been cleaned out. The bee keeper then sells the honey so they are happy to do it for free. If they want to charge you just call someone else.

Here is a link to a guy who come collect the bees.

Not sure where ur located in relation to him but if he is to far, he may be able to point u or get u in contact with someone in ur area

Live in a pier and beam house in Rockwall County. Bees are at back door of house right where deck meets the house. Appears they go in their hole and crawl down so no telling. Out of my element on this one

This is a link to a bee forum. May try and contact some1 in the dfw area who can get u in contact someone or they can collect them for u.

Im actually starting a bee colony myself since I enjoy honey and I use it in thing I cook with and with the price of it in huge grocery stores, I'd rather harvest my eon compared to buying from the commercial industry

If there is a hole then it is easy. They make like a backwards trap (used for lack of a better term) so the bees fly out but can't get back in. The bees die off and the hive gets weak because no bees get back in. Then the bee keeper parks a hive near it and removes the backwards trap. The other bees crawl down to "no telling" and remove any honey and even the wax. The bee keeper's bees do all the clean up.
