Little buggers were squeezing in between bricks and the sheet metal fire box cover over the wood stove that the wood stove flue goes up through. Couldn't squeeze a piece of paper in the space but they got through. Finally taped the whole thing and I believe that stopped the flow into the house. Two guys came this morning. One guy went up and dug out the queen and put it in a bucket and sat it on top of the chimney flue, and after an hour or so the bucket was quite full. Bee guy had another job in Plymouth so wife is waiting for him to come back. He says the ones in the flue die from the soot, and or dehydration. There has to be a chitload in the chimney flue, the sheet metal wood stove flue, on top of the sheet metal blocking the firebox and inside the stove. I think I'll give it a week or two before I vacuum and lean out everything.
