[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 257293, member: 1991"] Sounds good. Fingers crossed that if there IS any honey there, it's such a small amount that ants will clean it up before any bees find it. The hive I mentioned would have been at least 20 years old from when I first knew about it to when husband says they finally removed the honey. Chances are it was old when I first noticed the bees, I suspect in previous years they either ignored it or smoked them (before the fume cabinets were built). That building would be 150 years old, the hive could have been consecutively occupied for most of that time. A bit longer than your hive! Unless, of course, your swarm was taking advantage of a previous hive not known to you... or is yours a new house, you the first owners? I'd be keeping a long-term eye on the integrity of that caulking. You probably have a very inviting house. Marg [/QUOTE]
