Somewhere Over the Bedroom

Honeybees moved into this space over a bedroom (in the joist space between floors) about a month and a half ago.

The bees were not a problem for the homeowner, however, they were concerned for the safety of their dogs – so called to have the bees removed.

The bees are entering at the junction of where the siding meets the brick.  There was about a 1/4″ gap.  The bees had taken up residence just behind the band-board of the joists – but not accessible from the drywall area of the bedroom.  The comb width was about 16″ (joist spacing), by about 12″ tall.
