However, we are not a general pest control service. If you have a wasp problem, please call a pest control service. These pictures may help you make a correct identification. Compare it to a ball. It may not be possible for a beekeeper to safely remove a swarm, for example from a chimney or tall tree.
Swarms are usually harmless, but if disturbed can become more agitated.
If you've read the rest of this page, you know that a swarm is not out to get you. Don't try to drive the swarm away . You will probably fail and may provoke stinging in the process. We heard of a homeowner who had tried to drive a swarm away with a high pressure sprayer and killed the queen in the process. The bees could not leave without their queen, and were getting very impatient with his constant harrassment.
