If anyone is able to help, please reach out to her and let us know you are helping so we don’t bombard her. 

She’s been made aware that people may charge. She is hoping to put her house on the market so she would like to deal with this soon.

Message Body:
Four days ago, I noticed a "tornado" of bees outside my window, and went down to the basement only to find bees downstairs. I called Kwik Kill and they sent out a tech, today, Tuesday, who said I have honeybees and need to call a beekeeper to have them capture the queen bee. I am disabled, so it is very difficult for me to walk out in the yard, but the tech said the nest is probably in the house under the siding. I live on the west side of Madison, near the Madison/Middleton border, in Wexford. My name is Diane Backes, phone 608.640.0332. email dbbu...@gmail.com I have video the tech took, but I don't know how to take it from my phone to the computer. Please help!!

They appear to be yellow jackets. 

Since I don’t know where she is I can’t offer help except that she might as well use pesticide spray for a swift kill.

They are definitely not yellow jackets. If you zoom in you can see clear honeybee. They will need to be cut out or tapped out.
