Be prepared to answer the following questions to help the beekeeper to establish they are, in fact, honey bees and so that he can come prepared with the right equipment.
(Please note that if he is called out to find that it is not a swarm of honey bees, or inaccessible, we reserve the right to levy a charge to cover our expenses.)
How many bees are there?
Where are they?
How high up?
Do you have a ladder?
Are they going into a hole high up, or in the ground?
How long have they been there?
Are they on your property?
