On a summer day I have seen many hundreds swarming on a cedar shake roof. Probably few of them lived there but they will travel some distance for a meal. We can treat a roof with several products that are environmentally safe that will repel them. Control is the only thing possible here. If you find you have a nest of honey bees, the correct means to deal with them is to call a beekeeper.
Beekeepers have ways to remove a nest and save a very beneficial insect.
We do not recommend destroying a honey bee nest unless the situation is an emergency. A large unique insect, commonly found in ground nests and under slabs of concrete and in fairly commonly under mobile homes where they get into the insulation beneath the structure. Nests commonly contain a hundred bees or so. Be cautious as bumble bees can be aggressive if provoked. Call a professional if necessary.
