I can use some advice on how to capture and remove a hive from a hollow oak. My client wants me to spray them, murder of wildlife is not a good option.

We had a professional bee keeper come in, capture and remove a hive from the tree, but, they have returned (a new queen took up residence or ??). We are unable to find someone to remove them.

Is there some place I can look online to get the necessary information to save them?

I don't have much time. These folks are 'short tempered' and want them out. They pose no real danger as their entrance is 12-15 feet above ground level, but, some people don't want to share space.

Any tips would be appreciated.
