Bees in the roof (and wall)
The architect I almost contracted before finding my prehab unit, called me today saying he had bees in his house. I thought surely he just had some fly in the window and his wife was scared so he called me to help. (its "swarm season" so there was a chance a swarm was in or around their house.) turns out, he has had a mutli-year nest in his ceiling and wall above their bedroom.
I was planning on offering bee extraction services eventually, but I have not prepared all of the required tools and legal stuff for it. so good thing this was someone I know! called the carpenter to help me know what was ok and not ok to cut.
collected about half of the bees and the queen. unfortunately I could not cleanly connect the comb to frames so most of it was wasted.
still work to do there, but it will have to wait until tomorrow morning.
the vacuum in the video is a special type that won't harm the bees (except when I accidentally crush a few because I'm reaching above my head with both hands and can't see...)
