<p>There are ways to get honey out of walls without opening the walls. I do bee removals all the time. Cutouts are the surest way, but you can trap the bees out and use another colony to rob out the honey. Leaving the comb and honey in the walls is asking for trouble. The comb will melt without he bees to cool it, then the honey runs out of the wall. It attracts roaches and ants. If you don’t seal it up well, you will attract another swarm to that location. Here’s a cutout I did this summer…

<p>I knew we were going to be in trouble; thanks for posting that, Bandit. I’m going to go right now and check the fireplace for dripping honey. H just didn’t want to tear up the house and have to rebuild it right now.</p>

<p>to the OP: We have the same type of deck coming off of our house - about a foot off the ground, with lattice work going around the outside. Same problem - there is a nest somewhere under there of wasps and we couldn’t get rid of them. My mom had some exterminator come and take a look at it and they said they can spray some kind of thing under there at different areas that like explodes (not like a fire, i don’t know how else to explain it) which will cover the whole area and get rid of the nest… however it will cost us $200. I’m not sure if my mom did it or not, I haven’t been out on our deck in months and i’m not home often enough to hear people talk about it.</p>
