"Removing Honey Bee Swarms and Established Hives"

Excerpt from the page:
All though honey bees can be killed in place inside buildings by using pesticides that are labeled for killing bees inside of structures, this removal option often leads to undesirable consequences. (Note: These chemicals are available only to licensed pest control operators.) If the adult bees fall into a large pile, they may hold their body moisture and rot in place, producing a very bad odor. Liquid from the decomposing mass frequently penetrates the structure, leading to costly replacements.

If the colony is well established, there are further issues associated with killing the colony. Unattended brood can also rot and become very odorous. Unattended honey stores can absorb moisture and ferment, creating gas that causes the cappings holding honey in the cells to burst. Gravity will start moving the honey down attached surfaces until it encounters a horizontal impediment, such as a window frame, doorframe, firebreak, ceiling, or floor. Honey then seeps through the drywall, leading to large amounts of cleanup and expensive replacement. If pesticides were used to kill the bees, then the honey, wax and, dead bees are contaminated and must be handled as hazardous waste.


A better procedure than applying insecticides, especially if you have a beekeeper who is willing to help, may be to eliminate the bees without killing them.

Be aware that pest control companies generally will kill the bees before removing them.

A word of warning from the University of California regarding the killing of bees with pesticides in your home:

 ***Please don't call expecting us to remove your bees for free and treat us rudely when we politely explain to you that we cannot provide our services for free. This happens everyday and It is disrespectful and bold to expect someone to solve your home maintenance  issue for nothing in return. Bee removal is never free, someone is paying for the beehive and we wouldn't stay in business and providing our very valuable service if we did this for free.
We receive several calls per day to relocate bees for free. If you have a colony you wish to relocate for free please share this link with your friends and family. Once you raise the money for the relocation costs we will come and safely relocate your bees. Bee relocation is a wonderful thing but the materials can be costly.  If you would like to help provide a hive and other necessary expenses for relocating one of these needy colonies please click below to contribute, the bees will thank you!!!
