that seems like a poorly constructed house if there is such a huge gap that allows access into the walls of the structure - maybe she should contact the builder and the code inspector via a lawyer and then see what they want to do about it.  we had a townhouse that was so poorly constructed there is no way it passed inspection - the inspector was fired over another community for getting a kick-back from the developer.  i'm sure that was an isolated incident  :roll:

removing the bees will be a massive undertaking, i wish her luck.

Bees get into houses that are constructed poorly as well as ones that were constructed really well. Bees find small openings, every house has them. I wouldn't mind catching that swarm, it was nice!

in the video it shows them going into a large gap under a bump out - they probably didn't cover up wher ethe sill plate should have been like on my townhouse.

She must have had 100 offers already, what beek wouldn't jump on that opportunity?!

*edit* only 9 hour drive for me! Then again.. it IS a 9 hour drive... hmmm

Its hard to tell from the video but I'm guessing in order to get them out some damage to the walls would probobly be un-avoidable.
