Since Tina didn't reply all, here is the location if you want to see if the bees are still there.
Sorry, if you mean where do I live as 'general location', I live on the corner of Goodland & Davis in Sun Prairie and the tree is located next to my driveway and about 6 ft from the sidewalk. They look like 'happy bees' as my neighbor said as long as the lawn mower isn't running near them. They don't look like wasps or bumble bees. I see the Bumbles by my garden all the time. Just not understanding why all of a sudden they showed up and how I can safely get them rehomed somewhere.

A large cluster of bees hanging out in a tree, under a street sign, etc, is usually a honey bee swarm, and are generally harmless. Someone may come by and check it out if they are still there.On Tue, Jul 16, 2024, 10:04 PM Tina Petko <t1sw...@yahoo.com> wrote:Sorry, if you mean where do I live as 'general location', I live on the corner of Goodland & Davis in Sun Prairie and the tree is located next to my driveway and about 6 ft from the sidewalk.

Subject: Swarm Notification - Bees swarming in tree
Message Body:
When cutting grass on Friday, noticed Bees going in & out of a mature tree. Each time the mower neared the tree, they became more agitated. Don't want to exterminate, but not sure how to get them to go somewhere else. Have a garden & raspberry bushes on the other end of the property, so not sure why they are in this tree. Help!

Good morning,
Trying again as my last message was too large.
Can confirm they are honeybees. They are at human height going in and out of a small hole. They will require a trap out.

See message from Tina.
Some people in our club are willing to do a trap out but it is time consuming so sometimes people charge for that service. We are an organization of individuals and don't officially endorse anyone to do any particular job.
Thanks for confirming they are honey bees. What is a trap out and is that something you do or do I have to get someone else to do?

I hope someone is willing help as this is in a very accessible location. If you reply to Tina, please let us know.
