I don't know if you witnessed a bunch of bees in that situation, or maybe they were afflicted with the mysterious unknown cause of bee die off the bee industry is experiencing.
I know that recently there were a few times I walked out of my house and saw a dying bee on the walkway.

Dead bees along the outside of the house are signs of a beehive living in the wall, eave or attic. This will typically be accompanied by bee activities buzzing above or near the dead bees. Upon observation you may also see dead or sick bees being carried out by one or two bees and dropped somewhere......

Probably all the round up and raid that suburbanites insist on using. At my house where I am 100% organic, the bees are alive and pollinating my garden with abandon.
Just a note that I have NEVER used pesticides and am totally organic and STILL have dying bees ??? :-(

That can be so dangerous for your home if the queen bee decides to make a home inside the wall, eave, or attic. Imagine all that honey getting bigger and bigger until it penetrates the inside of your home. One couple had no idea that they had a huge bee hive right above their bed in the master bedroom. The hive got bigger and bigger until it collapsed on their bed. Luckily , they were not present at home during this event.

We have a TON of wasps and yellowjackets this summer though.
I'm curious how you control the wasps being all organic? What are you using?
I found 2 wasp nests under the eaves yesterday, sprayed the nests & knocked them down. But I noticed the wasps are still swarming today. Is there a better or more effective way to get rid of the wasps, or at least decrease their population? Or does it just take a few days for their "medicine" to get passed on to everyone in the nest?

Honestly, I don't control the wasps. I pretty much leave them alone and so far they have left me alone (fingers crossed).
