Yeah, there are like... I dunno... 5-10 thousand bees flying around outside my house right now... should I be alarmed? or what should I do?

Well, a few questions to assess how really serious this situation is. Has this ever happened before? Are you allergic to bees? Is there anyway that they can get into your house?

And of course, don't you wish now that you drove this?

Waaaaaaaah, I fear bees. They hurt me! Reminds me of those bug movies that they showed on Fox channel. The one about the bees were esspecailly freaky. I got stung only three times in my whole life. Wait, make that only two times. I plan to keep it that way. The first time was in 2nd grade in music csass. I think we were watching "Mr. Rodger's Neighborhood" What, it was a music special... type thingi... on... there. Anyway, I got a slight fever after that. I'm not sure if that was from the bee sting tho. The weather was nice and sunny... I don't know okays! The second time was last year. I was gonna put on my seat belt and my nephews said there was a bee on the seat belt strap. I thought they were lying becuase.... one was 4 and the other tended to lie. Well, I reached for it and I got stung on my right index finger. It hurt, but for some reason not as much as I thought it would. It was like... I absorbed the pain and made it my own. Ok, that didn't make sense. I just know Link's gonna make fun of me for that one (haha)!

If it was me, I'd provoke them^^ Throw a rock at the swarm and run the heck into the house again! Thinking of it this way if they get mad, they'll just swarm around until they realize that nothing's there and they fly to a new loaction... hopefully^^ ...just don't wear anything black :/

Has it happened before? Not really... once across the street, in the bottlebrush tree, there was like... a football-sized clump of them. My neighbor took one look at it and said that they were passive and just protecting the queen that was at the center of this strange "bee-ball". That was a lot of bees, but they weren't really flying around...

No, I'm not alergic in the slightest

Hmm... they could if they managed to get into my garage and then under the door leading to the interior of the house... pretty complicated task for a single bee, let alone many.

:P

Anyhow, they seem to have moved on... went to our neighbor's place and kept going up the street... weird...

I would've donned protective garb and taken a flamethrower to them. Fry, bees, fry.

They're swarming, and should settle down eventually. However, if the swarm builds its nest somewhere problematic, you'll probably have to call the local animal control people (depending on where you are, they should have, or be able to contact, specialists in this sort of thing).

Once we had a beehive outside our bedroom window. :D They kept smashing into it. I think they were stupid bees. xD;
