Getting Rid Of Bees Humanely

[canopy]

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.
