Experienced Honey Bee Removal in South Florida – When Honey Bees make a hive in a house, they also store honey, wax, and eggs Propolis is a resinous mixture that honey bees collect from tree buds, sap flows, or other botanical sources. It is used as a sealant for unwanted open spaces in the hive. Propolis is used for small gaps (approximately 6 millimeters (0.24 in) or less), while larger spaces are usually filled with beeswax. Its color varies depending on its botanical source, the most common being dark brown. Propolis is sticky at and above room temperature, 20 °C (68 °F). At lower temperatures, it becomes hard and very brittle., source Wikipedia

All of these need to be removed to stop other insects and bees from returning (Palmetto bugs are very attracted to bee hives). The majority of the time, we can repair at the same time as the removal.
