Bee's are invading my house again!!!!

My lemon tree started getting blossom on it and all of a I began to seeing lots of bee's in the back yard,I thought it was because of the lemon blossoms. But investigating a little further, I found out they were going in and out of a vent hole up to the roof of the house. So I was Visiting Teaching and mentioned it to one of the sister I visit and she said her son worked for the Pest Control. She went and got him and he said he would be out the following Saturday. So here he is.
















His name is Keith Montague. He brought his ladder out and fitted it up against the wall where they were going in.






















He went back to his truck and got in his bee clothes so he wouldn't get stung. He said sometimes they get mad enough to crawl in somewhere and he gets a good sting, and that isn't fun.





















Here he is fixing the spray he will shoot into the holes. I asked him what kind of mixture it was. I had been opening the window up in that bedroom and spraying bug spray, and the bees didn't seem to like it, but after a little while they were going back into the hive they were building in there. Keith said it was ground up glass, real fine. When they shoot it in the hive, it gets onto their wings and cuts them up, and of course when they breath it, its fatal. I really hate to have bees killed, but I also didn't want a hive residing there.
















I went upstairs and took this picture of him out the window, you can see the bees swarming around him.
















It didn't take him long. You can see how my lemon tree limb got over loaded with lemons, and with all that rain we had it was too much weight on that limb and broke. I haven't cut it off yet, because there are so many lemons getting ripe on it. I will wait awhile. That's how some of my day went.
















He had to mix up a little more to spray into it, so he was prepared with a full supply.

I want a bee problem just so I can get some cool pictures of a guy in a suit like that.
