Dark Swarm was cast on my backyard, whereupon the bees built a spire and have started morphing guardians. I'll try to take some photos of the thing in the early AM when the bees aren't active - the thing is huge like the Tower of Babel and was built in one day. Maybe the Egyptians used them to construct the pyramids way back when.
Get some honey hanging off a pole or something to attract the bees and light a fire under it, the smoke will kill the bees off. I vaguely remember a thread on somethingawful where this was pulled off successfully with pictures.

the guy had a huge bee hive under his BBQ grill and he killed them all, i think its a totally different situation
If they really are honeybees, they have been dying off, and it probably won't help to kill some more of them. There is probably some organization you can contact to relocate them for you.

Yeah but that situation really seems out of control lol, it's a full on swarm
First I thought this was going to be a blog about a guy with sociophobia. Well I really recommend to do what travis said, dont let them be killed if you're not in danger.

Not to mention that relocating a few honeybees isn't gonna do shit. From a biological perspective that seems like a pretty fruitless effort to me and I really doubt there is an organization that relocates bees lol.

However i agree with Travis. "There is a great shortage of bees in several States and scientists are very alarmed at beekeepers finding most of their bees dead in their hives. Without bees you don't get pollination and without pollination many of our food sources would dwindle away. Don't kill them, get a beekeeper to come and get them. "

You're kidding though right? How the hell is he going to sell them?
OP, I wish you the best of luck in finding people suicidal enough to get rid of them and stupid enough to pay you for it.
well, one guy says "i will buy them", and then he names a price (in money), and the other guy gives him money and takes the bees.
dude, have u even stopped for like a second and thought "maybe there is a reason a bunch of people are saying he could sell the bees" ? do you think we are just all retarded or something?
honestly, use your brain. hell you could even just do a google search of "can you sell bees" and find out if you can or not. but no, instead you just go allin with your ignorance as though everything you know is always right. sorry if I am being harsh I am just trying to make a useful point.
I got stung by a wasp last week. It was the first time I've ever been stung and I'm still alive! Guess I'm not allergic, I do still have a red dot where it happened and about 15 minutes afterward it was swelling in this big white puffy mass.
work on your scouting and learn some build orders please D:>
on a serious note. Do not mess with bees they are known to chase people for miles. Do not jump in water because they are also known to hover above the water for over half and hour haha.
Best solution is maybe looking for someone who specializes in their destruction.
Hell if they arent bothering you dont bother them D: idk?
[edit 2]
Or like others ahve said if you can sell them..sell them? make some money off of this
It's time to call in a gigantic super robot from Japan. These days they come cheap, only $33,000 for a 100 meter tall mech equipped with a glowing sword and laser eyes. Gotta have laser eyes.

Colony Collapse disorder seems to be mostly occurring in North America, where the honey bee is not native. It represented a rare case of a species being introduced and neither overwhelming the indigenous population (other bees in this case, like bumblebees) nor dying out. If they do disappear in NA (as they seem to be doing, there are hardly any feral honey bees left, most are in colonies tended by beekeepers), agriculture will obviously be affected. Production will have to shift back towards plants native to the Americas. Honey bees are used to pollinate imported plants. Native plants are pollinated by native bees.
So I don't know if "extinct" is the right word, without qualifiers. They are declining outside NA though. At any rate, they should be worth something.
yea that link scares me. I feel the bees on my neck looking at it. The pics on that shit make them look so dopey. I'm surprised they didn't catch anything else on fire with what they used.

i had this in my backyard one time too! they were starting to build a hive or something and then figured that it wasn't the best place because my mom, sister, and i sprayed raid from the window haha (bunkers!)
You can call an exterminator. That is a large nest you have in the backyard. Given the season they won't be going anywhere for more than 6 months otherwise.
Bee stings are the largest killer of humans in the U.S. directly caused by animals. An allergic reaction to the venom is bee’s kills 53 people per year. This number is increasing every year due to the aggressive African honey bee that is taking over in Texas.
OHH i thought only 53 bees died per year i was like what the fuck? haha source
We had a guy come out from the local bee guild (bee guild? wtf) turns out he was my old high school history teacher. Over a couple of days he got in there and removed everything, put it into bee boxes and drove it back to his ranch. We didn't have to pay anything because the cost of labor is canceled out by the value of the bees. Pretty snazzy.
Nobody got stung, surprisingly. Or maybe not so surprisingly since we were all too afraid to go out there after seeing what was going on. They definitely calmed down, but this heat wave we are going through would have driven them more crazy. No more bees for now! Thanks to all who replied with suggestions and also the humorous posts.
