There is a bee colony up about 5M high inside a bamboo post that have been living there peacefully for months. It is the small type of bee called daen. I need to do some work on the roof so must do something about them since I must work on the post. Is there a way to get them to leave without killing them? The area is highly flammable so smoking them out could be difficult. Also have no running water there. Any ideas appreciated.

Try this website. Three options: vinegar solution, soapy water and moth balls.
