Is This What I Think It Is - & - If So - What Do I Do About It.

Just noticed this in the tree above the Bar-B-Q.

 

Shivers - it is alive - & moving.

 

Are these - WASPS.

 

If so what do I do - other than remain inside.

Wasps don't tend to hang around like that Helen.

 

It's a bee swarm.    Call a bee keeper.   Stay inside.   Windows shut.

 

A good bee keeper will take them away for free, for his own hives

They don't look as big as bees.

 

And they don't have striped  PJs.

 

I don't think.

They could be native bees.

 

As stawks says, call an apiarist, most will take them for free to put them in a hive. (Yellow pages)

Well if they don't have striped PJ's then they're not wasps, are they?

 

Maybe native bees?   They're smaller and darker aren't they?

This was as close as I was willing to go.

 

They do have striped PJs.
