    Are those honeybees?
    If you have a local beekeeper: they have the means to and are usually very happy to aquire a new colony for their business!

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galago

    Galagos /ɡəˈleɪɡoʊz/, also known as bush babies or nagapies (meaning “night monkeys” in Afrikaans[2]), are small nocturnal[3] primates native to continental, sub-Sahara Africa, and make up the family Galagidae (also sometimes called Galagonidae).

    They catch insects on the ground or snatch them out of the air…Their diet is a mixture of insects and other small animals, fruit, and tree gums.

    Sounds like it might work itself out.

      I dunno, there are a LOT of bees, and only one monkey. I think the bees are going to win this one.

    Was the monkey home at the time?

    If not, the bees probably aren’t angry and may happily settle down there.

    The bushbaby will be pretty unhappy about it though.

    Call a beekeeper, that’s a nice easy catch for them.

    You might ask them how to modify the house to be less attractive to bees while still welcoming bushbabies.

      We don’t think so, the bees seems to have settled in with no excitement, so the monkey will have to go look for a new home.

        Time to get yourself a bee suit and a smoker. You’ll have a well-pollinated garden and honey. Although if you can quickly get a real hive box, they might move into it instead.
