Bee repellent

Today a swarm of bees seemed to want to move in under our roof. The swarm was about as big as a man's head!
Now don't get me wrong, I like bees, they make honey. I like honey. However, not under my roof, above my front door, thank you very much.
So we wanted to encourage them to move elsewhere. Our homemade plan worked. One stepladder, one long pole, one tin can candle insect repellant and cable ties.
Phew! Very relieved they moved.
