To call beekeepers out entails some cost on my part and also some destruction to the shed for the beekeeper to get at the bees. I do not have the suits or smoke that keepers use.
I really want to repel them. They appear to be under the floor of the shed and are likely setting up between the floor joists. The underside of the floor is not readily accessible. I am thinking put a small hole in floor with a battery powered drill introducing either Avon skin-so-soft or moth balls to induce them to leave. This should allow them to take the honey with them and set up somewhere else. In the future I look into putting out baited swarm boxes to prevent such problems. I would like to have a hive in the future in a place of my choosing and not that of the bees.
