Answer 2

You have no choice but to kill them. Sounds cruel, but I speak from experience. Once they find a crack or a hole in the siding, they move in big time. They literally settle in between the siding on the outside and the drywall on the inside.  You not only kill them but seal all the open cracks and gaps in the siding. Otherwise they come back with a vengeance next year. I personally ecperienced this horror. I changed the whole siding at a great cost.

Answer 4

NO !!! Hire a bee-keeper to remove them and carry them away.

The USA is actually experiencing a MAJOR die-off of honey-bees over the last decade.  I have to PAY to have hives brought in to pollinate our orchard and garden.

Answer 5

No, please be kind and call a professional to have them removed and relocated.  It's true that honey bees are dying out and we need them.  

Answer 6

Its probrably illegal to kill them in most states now, just find a close by beekeeper , he will locate the queen, put it in a new hive, and its really cool to see all her workers, drones, etc.. follow her to her new pad.

Then your problem is solved, and since the beekeeper will profit from your problem,  alot of the keepers will harvest the honey for you.
