Can a beekeeper come and take out the bees?
Yes. However, removing the bees usually takes a lot of time and effort once they’ve moved within a wall. The value of the bees, alone, is not sufficient to justify the effort and liability of involved in removing them. Fewer and fewer beekeepers are willing to do this, and those who do, often charge a fee and may still leave the responsibility of any repairs up to the homeowner. Be sure that you agree about price and what is expected in this service. Contact your county Cooperative Extension Office and ask if there is a list of local beekeepers who perform this service.
