I'm curious to hear about this one as well. Sounds like someone trying to get a free cutout done, but that could be just the cynic in me coming out  |

If you can keep your head when all about you are loosing theirs, you probably don't fully understand the situation!

It is a colony that has been established for 3-4 months. The inside of the house has just been renovated so the job has to be done from the outside. Exterior is chamfer board and is outside my capabilities. I have contacted a builder that I do work for (also a beek) and have requested he do a quote to remove and refit the boards. I'll keep you updated. |

I should also mention that the fact I dont have a bee vac is delaying the removal. I'm in the process of building one though.

Good call. That's my winter project, along with a big stack of supers |

No, the inside has just been renovated so they don't want to tear it down. The outside hasn't been done yet so they don't mind a bit of damaged paint.
