Way up there!

The homeowner had only noticed these bees over the last few weeks – up near the 2nd floor soffit.  At first, we thought they were in the wall – as that portion of the roof DOES get sunshine – but upon checking – the bees were, indeed, in the soffit (as usual!).  The comb was actually several years old in the center of the cluster.  The queen was found and captured, then reunited with her colony and comb.
