sounds pretty bold to me. Suppose you're nervous while doing it, and screw up, and the nest falls into the room, or something.
I think for $125 or a bit more you can buy a professional anti-bee suit. Maybe even $200.
Also consider that these Africanized bees keep moving further north. Suppose you get a nest of those sometime?
Not that I'm about to try this, but my father, out in West Texas, when there was a yellow-jacket nest up under the eves of the house, would get a long pole, wire some newspapers around the end, light 'em, and with big flame going would quickly stick it up under the next -- all the yellow-jackets would fall down to the ground, and he'd stomp them dead.
And he'd do that in the middle of the day -- no waiting til night or early morning.
