I don't know where you are located, but if it's hot and dry maybe they're getting a drink. Try and find the nest, if it's on your property, then call a beekeeper and maybe he will come and get them for you.   :)

I called a beekeeper for the swarm in my garden.  Effective and I'm happy.

I've noticed bees around my pond, and also the tubs.  I don't get dragon flies, but I do, for some reason, get bees.

I guess they are seeking water, in this never-ending drought.

I welcome them.  My hairdresser says her vegetable garden is failing because there are no bees to pollinate the flowers.

A beekeeper might take them away for free.  Honeybee population here in PA down at least 35% - some kind of mite killing them off.  I've seen ads on Craiglist around here posted from beekeepers offering to collect honeybee swarms for free.
