Bees in my roof

    Noticed a lot of honey bees 2 days ago and now they're in my house in the ceiling of my kitchen and in the garage
    They're getting in somewhere and I don't want to kill them. But they're getting to be too annoying now because my daughter can't go out in the garden to play because there is 100 or more in under 2 days.
    I got a local bee keeper to come check it out but he told me leave them there that they're not going to harm anyone but I can't use my garage if there are bees all over it. Anyone know someone that can just come try take them away without killing them?

    Use fly killer. Find out where the nest is and hit them there. cover up.
    Edit: Just saw that you dont want to kill them.

    The beekeeper should be able to lure them into a box to trap them and bring them away for you what part of limerick might know a keeper that would take the hive

    Might know a beekeeper that would be interested in trying to trap them he's based in the midlands so not sure if he would travel that far.are they behind the fascia and soffit or can you get near them easily

    theyre getting in under the flat felt roof or a hole under it and theyre in the ceiling in the kitchen we can hear them when the house is quiet buzzing around and then theyre somehow getting into the garage from the kitchen(under the same roof)

    Come on Bee Keepers!!! Help the OP out! They're trying to do the right thing and keep the swarm alive. Its ridiculous to expect that they'd keep/leave the bees until the winter..

    Ye should be out there in droves trying to help keep these one alive and find them a new home.
