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.

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?

As stawks says, call an apiarist, most will take them for free to put them in a hive. (Yellow pages)
OK - give me a minute - Yellow Pages.
Will do.
Will there be honey for the landlady - when they are gone.

This was as close as I was willing to go.
They do have striped PJs.
