Your request is complicated, as an ex-beekeeper.

If they are actually honeybees, see below. If not, call the bomberos who will get rid of them with giant propane torches.

If, in fact, you have honeybees, then the process includes many days of work by the beekeeper. The queen is in the hive and the whole batch will go where she goes.

Many years ago I removed a hive in the wall of a house, but it took three weeks. The process was exact and by tthe book, and it took a long time.

I had a hive in the hollow of a burnded-out palm tree that caused any brush-cutter down that fenceline to run for cover. We called the bomberos and they burned the honeybees out...it was too tough to do anything else.
