Has it been determined they're honey bees?

lil bee update.


So.... today, not a bee in sight. Cool. At noon I decide I'm gonna go outside with the dogs and read a lil. Just as I'm about to head downstairs, I hear a strange wooshing noise outside. I look out the widow that faces the backyard...... holy shit it's a huge swarm of bees flooding the entire back yard. I run down the stairs to get the dogs in. They are so freaked out they don't even want to come in the house. I ran out and rushed them in. I then proceeded to go back upstairs and watch the show from inside the house.

For about the next 1/2 hour , they swarmed back and forth from our neighbors yard to ours, then to the house behind ours, then back to ours, then they vanished.

It was like something from an Alfred Hitchcock movie.

yup. now that I know there are no bees in the walls, I'll seal the gap correctly.

I don't think you should assume all the bees are gone just yet.  The swarming may mean they got crowded in their current hive, and sent out some to make a new colony.  The one in the house is possibly still active.

Yeah, I remember that made it through the news cycles last Summer.  Doesn't seem to be anything out there on whether it has gotten better or worse since then? Some interesting developments on fixing it:
