Oh, please call professionals about this problem. If they are honey bees, a beekeeper needs to be called in to take them to hive. Our bee colonies are collapsing, PLEASE DO NOT USE ROUNDUP on any thing, it's extremely toxic and killing our honey bees. If the honey bees go extinct, this world will not be able to exist, no pollination for food.

This time of year it could very well be honey bees, and a beekeeper would love to have them. DH used to be a beekeeper, and his name was on file with the local sheriff's office. Your county extension agent should also be able to help.

My son lives in Bakersfield and his house had a big wild bee hive in the attic when he moved in. He called a local bee keeper organization and one of the members came out and got the hive, queen and all. He said he was grateful to get it as the wild bees were very hardy and disease resistant. With colony collapse a problem having a wild strain to introduce into a domestic strain adds strength to the hives. It was a win/win for all involved.
