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.

    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.

    Thanks for the reply, I guess…?

    I was hoping the clever bee people might have some advice.

    This is pretty cool!

    Unsure where you are but if it’s winter there’s a good chance these girls aren’t going to make it.

    If it’s summer, then they’ll probably have a good nest. This is going to be filled with comb, honey, and larva before they’re done with it. (It can happen really fast). Since it doesn’t look like a large spot, I’d expect them to throw off another swarm before the season is out.

    The downside is that bees have a tough time without treatment for mites… which means this colony might make it through this year but will likely start having some issues after that.
