My brother and I used to keep bees and were on the 'swarm list'...and we'd show up in our white suits and rescue the bees from the citizens that were contimplating their demise. We also went to situations similar the this, the colony inside a wall, chimmney, etc...

We were interested in getting the bees out and not leaving 60 pounds of honey behind that might break through a wall after the bees were gone and could not keep the honey cool...or, attract other critters.

Call your County Extension Agent, if you have one (agricultural advisor) and ask for the local bee club. I'm sure they'll respond, but if they are not honeybees, just burn your shed and they'll be gone!
