Well, the advice came from the beekeeper. They are pretty much goners in any case as it is starting to get cold here. Dying in the wall or out, I am just hoping that this doesn't turn into an annual problem. From what I have read, trapped bees will go into panic mode and try to find ANY escape (ie. the chimney!).

Mmmm...honey. I had some of that in my tea last night.
Congrats on getting your ring back, Guids!! Too bad about the bees, though. Trapping them might kill them, although then there will be nothing more than a bunch of bee carcasses and decaying honey. Hmmmm...that's certainly some strange advice.

Happy day! On a longshot, I went out looking for the last person who could give me any info about my lost ring. Even took her one of my others to give her a good example so that she might actually LOOK for it.
Lo and behold, my favorite ring comes back home!
You'll also notice it sitting on a big ol' jar of honey. Beekeeper also came by last night. It'll be the end of his part in the bee saga. He looked in the box and found that they were not taking to it. He thinks that the queen has left but didn't go to the box. He'll come pick up the box in a few days and suggested that I just leave the funnel up, let the bees out and then just plug the hole (trapping them in my house!). Like I said to him, at least we gave it a shot. Nice guy, didn't charge a thing and even brought me some edible honey.
