If it's actual bees (rather than like wasps or yellow jackets)... don't kill them!! See if you can find a beekeeper in your area, they would be more than happy to come take the hive off your hands. You can find contact information through the following...

Do what Sephira suggests. Do not kill them! The bee population has already been greatly depleted and we absolutely need them to pollinate crops.

I called a bee keeper to take away a swarm that collected on a tree in my front yard. For one thing they won't bother you at all in the mean time.
Keeper arrives with a big box and a smoker device and in a few minutes he will be on his way with his prize.
As has been pointed out, people say bees to cover all flying buzzing insects some of which are actually wasps. You may want to check 1st with somebody locally who is S U R E these are bees N O T wasps. That's important!!!! Don't kill bees !
