Hate to have to kill them. But if you do then soapy water is the best. Or you could crawl up there and find the queen and glue her in the bottom of a cardboard box. Leave it up there for two hours then remove the box. They will all be in there. P.s. She's the one with a crown
No one in my family will go close enough to look for a crown. We all hate to get stung.
Do it at night after dark

Bees cant fly in dark.....and they cant sting you if you hold your breath......good luck
Can't see the color blue. Wear jeans and smoke a cigar. Hear it works every time
I wouldn't take the chance on doing it myself ... at least not without a bee keeper suit on, day OR night. Too much chance of the bees being Africanized Honey Bees ... and they don't "play" !!
Officials are ready when Africanized bees arrive | Mississippi State University Extension Service
I cant wait to hear about the outcome of catching the queen thing!
:popcorn
I'm with Lowe, let's do this thing... maybe a bee suit is in order.. every queen has to have a king.
Just call the fire department and tell them they can have the shed to burn down for practice and training. If you don't like that idea call a pest control company and pay two hundred bucks and get over it lol
