Removal:

APCS recommends not poisoning the bees due to the honey and hive melting, they however will instigate a live removal where they vacuum up the bees and remove the hive. Within a few days, APCS comes back and seals the entry. Another option is to treat and remove the bees and within a few days, APCS will come back and remove the hive.
