Some people are really smart aren't they? Don't think I would want to eat it.

"In desperation the couple drilled four holes in their bathroom ceiling and aimed fly spray through them, hoping to disturb the bees enough to make them leave."

"Ms Wake said the couple were later told the honey would have been fine to eat,"

Makes me wonder what kind of fly spray they use....

"Clearly not enjoying this, the bees moved to the fig tree near the house but eventually left altogether, Ms Wake said."

Wouldn't poisonous fly spray also poision the bees instead of just making them leave?

The vapor or oder will run them out before they are exposed to enough to kill them.
