The cut-out location and the trap out location

[talkingamoeba]

Hello, this will be my first attempt at posting pictures, so please bear with me. The first picture is of the entrance of the hive in my house wall. I have started removing siding to get ready for warm weather. The bee escape that is nailed to the window frame is from a failed trap out attempt in '05. They are clever little critters :-D  This is in the corner of a second stry window.  18" from an addition.














The second is my Great uncle's house up the road, he was put in a nursing home and I can do a trap-out, but no cut out unless he comes home soon and gives his blessing. I have permission to put a platform in place.  The dark spot between the windows and to the left is the entrance.









All your advice is welcome and appreciated. Thank you for your time.
