You are in CA, and it's a good possiblity those may be Africanized bees. I would call someone and have that removed, if they don't move on thier own.

Don't listen to the advice given here to mess with it in any way. If you piss them off, and they are Africanized, it will be VERY bad for you.

Right, and at the core of that swarm is the Queen!

When I was stationed at El Toro Marine Air Base in So Cal we had bees swarm and take up residence in the landing gear of one of our Air Craft.

Let me tell you that was one FUN pre flight, trying NOT to piss off the bees!!

moonbeam, you're right about respecting nature, but don't you think you could find a better hobby than keeping animals who are deadly to you? 😉

I gave it up when I moved, thom. The day I almost died I was bending down to put the bee stinger that I'd pulled out of my arm under my microscope. I wanted to see what hit me. I bumped my arm on my knee bending down and that's when I noticed a terrific new pain, the huge swelling and the itchy swelling on my neck and the difficulty breathing. I ran to a local fire house and prayed. Never got to see the stinger. I think the curiosity lasted the rest of my life and that's why I started my hives. Bees are facinating. Took one down the coller on a motorcycle, but just stopped, open my shirt. It flew away without a sting. For a long time I used to think that I was just imagining that I was really in danger, but I learned as an adult that people actually do die from bee stings on the neck that swell so much they shut the windpipe.

Oh man - if you pissed it off w/ a rock and then proceeded to hit it again w/ a water balloon... You would end up w/ one of those bee formations that you see in cartoons. They'd probably come knocking on that glass sliding door of yours...

That happened to the Queen of England recently when she was having some sort of ceremoney and a swarm of bees took up residence on the bottom of a chair.

No Marauder, they would not come after you. They would never understand that some clown hit them because he was calous and blind to their simple machine beauty and they could never comprenend they were being killed for fun. They are just a part of the infinite beauty of the world waiting for the dreamer to awaken.
