We experienced a large swarm of bees at our home on Friday, 4/22. I am pretty sure they are honey bees ... though I do not know much about bees at all. I wanted to attach a video from Friday ... and then a photo from yesterday - but am unable. There is MUCH less outside activity than there was on Friday ... However, we have seen quite a few in our home in the basement (many of them dead on the window sills). Also, when we showed our son the video, he and his friends recalled hearing a lot of buzzing in the vents ... on the weekend of 4/16 (!!). We had not heard about this until Saturday. If you could, please get back to me about what we could do about this problem. We are afraid they are building/have built a hive in our home somewhere. I know that honey bees are protected by law ... but we don't want them invading our home - so we please need advice on what to do. We live in Leesburg. Thank you so very much for your time and help with this! Most Sincerely, Jamie Semler (703) 932-4524
