Bee Hive Removal Lompoc

This was a bee hive on a Lompoc ranch, another example of bees recolonizing a previous hive spot.  Once a hive has been removed it is critical to get the area cleaned, filled, and sealed up to prevent future infestations.  This hive was very large, the honeycomb extended roughly 4 feet long.
The problem area was the corner of the trim (right side of photo in middle).  The bees were coming in there
and moving up into the eave space. The honey comb extended another 12 inches down tot he right. The openings on the left were areas that bees had occupied in the past - two separate hives in the past 12 months.

While the comb only went half way up the opening here, bees were all the way up to the top.  As bees were removed we placed wall insulation in the opening to keep the bees confined to one half of the space and worked our way down.
