The Bees are Dead

Yesterday we got rid of the bees. It cost us about $1000 to have the Bee Master's come out and remove the hive. They had to remove the tile, and then cut a 3 foot hole in the roof to get the hive out. The entire reason we had them remove the hive instead of just killing the bees and then sealing the hole was that we didn't want the honey to drip into the insulation and eventually drip down the walls into the sheet rock, and also we didn't want an infestation of more bugs eating the honey. Well, because it's been so hot, and it was 7 days before they got back out to our house, most of the honey DID drip out of the hive and down onto the first story insulation.. So, basically it was a waste of money to get the hive out. Except it's nice knowing that all those bees aren't in the roof anymore. I thought the "bee" lady told me that it was a 60 pound hive, and either I heard her wrong, or she was WAY off, but the hive was actually about 6 pounds.
