Hi Bob,
From my limited experience, the bees will likely leave by themselves in
a while. Just passing through. I doubt if they plan to take up permanent
residence there. I don't think they will do any harm if you don't bother
them. I certainly wouldn't "attack" them. It's amazing how quickly they
can leave. They may even be gone tomorrow.
If they don't leave, contact a bee keeper, who will likely be glad to
get them. A knowledgeable keeper can move them surprisingly easy.
Good luck,
Dave Russell
