I got brave today & took parts off the dish on roof. 1st I set up a ladder but decided to climb out of attic window. When I opened the windows, 2 beehives/nests fell so I shut the windows & got hornet/wasp spray. Taken after I took the long arm off & parts they want back. Where the dish is, roof is much steeper so I walked on the less steep part - still scary.
I unscrewed the top of the big box thingy on the kitchen floor & when I took it off, a bees nest fell out & a big one was still inside. Bees were crawling out & I'm very allergic to stings so I had the spray nearby & sprayed the one on floor & ran the rest outside & sprayed the nest still inside the box. Whew! The whole thing w/arm is 2 1/2 ft long - bigger than average ones.
That's the cover I unscrewed off next to it, & the switch there.
The nest inside is 6 inches X 3 inches high, wrapped around something.
Glad I didn't take it apart on the roof or I woulda got stung and/or fell off the roof & be in a hospital now. I hate dish network! I'm sending it all back with the beehive in it!!
