What's that buzz? My right side woofer was buzzing something terrible and needed to be fixed. Here are two pictures of the problem.
A brand new hive. How to get them out? With a shop vacuum. All 10,000 of them.
Let the jokes begin.

Put a bit of tobacco leaf stem inside the cabinet, with some Neem leaves...and if you think safe, put naphthalene balls.
The odor disturbs them.
We have small bee like insects, I just use an oil can to put a few drops of engine oil on their nests, the nesting smell is disturbed by that residue.
Inside a cabinet, I would not do that.
You can use a pouch of muslin like material to hold the insect repellent in place, and stop it flying around.

Had they got around to the honey stage, or it was at the early building stage?
A planter in Coorg (hilly area in Karnataka State) once gave me a small bottle of honey, it was collected by the bees from his coffee plantation.
Memorable, it tasted of coffee.

Those bees are aligned poorly. It’s causing a lot of honeycomb filtering.
I was thinking the same whether the bees could be smoked out or by other means chased out, they do better job in the nature than in a vacuum cleaner.
At least I hope you salvaged the bees wax, can always roll your own audiophile caps and transformers.

Did you try to play Killer Bee ?
How did you figure out the problem? Was the midrange too syrupy? The soundstage a bit too sticky?

There was a waxy sound to the midrange.
Do they make large cotton swabs to clean out the port wax?

I have had bee keepers confirm that they have used shop vacs to collect up bees and 'most' of them survive the ordeal.
BTW how did you count them?

The beekeeper gave me the number, I certainly didn’t count them all! I was a young hive, no more than 4 days old. You can see the combs are white and have no honey.
The vacuum was mild, so as to not injure the bees. They were actually sucked into a hive, not the shop vac itself. The hive was inline before the vacuum - a screen in the hive was used to keep the bees from being sucked into the actual vacuum cleaner.
