wasp/hornet stuff, in the pressurized can.. Shake really well. Gets rid  of all of 'em, real fast. Spray at dusk for best results. Though maybe if you want the real Georgian experience, spray at high noon. Make sure you got your nike's on first.

See if you can get France to broker a cease fire.

Unfortunately, "getting rid of bees" generally requires a professional.

I suggest building a large, gasoline-fueled fire on the ground covering their nest.

If they are yellow jackets, they're migrants. They'll abandon their nest before winter and won't come back to the same place next year.

But if you have to take them out, I second the wasp/hornet killer at dusk.

One wasp nest on the side of my house (and evidence of many previous colonies) and one inside my shed, but I got rid of them when they were just starting to build. If they've taken hold, well, good luck.

Nuke 'em from orbit.

they are bees?

We had these tiny little wasps living in a huge underground nest in one of the houses we rented. Oddly they were right by the front door, and we'd get hit by their sentries every now and again.

I thought they were bees until we killed a couple. One I found out they were wasps, we nuked the fuckers with some heavy neurotoxin. It took four days.

. . . somewhere, and you are having trouble locating it, you might start to get high off the wasp-killer spray fumes with all the action. If that's the case, one can always use the old beekeeper method to pacify and deter: smoke. Obviously, doesn't work too well for a ground or lower location, but works wonders for subduing an entrenched hive before the extermination. They get sleepy, woozy and slow in smoke. Sort of like smoking hydro.

"What does Mr. Bee say?" he'll respond with "BZZZZZZZ!"

If they were bees, all you would have to do is call a "bee removal service."  Bees are in short supply these days, so people will fall all over you to remove any hive you don't want.

But wasps...chemical nukage!  I keep a can of the "sprays from 25 feet!" stuff around because we get a lot of wasps.

I keep bees you know. Not for the honey, no for their pelts. They make marvellous pea cosies. If you're just sitting down to dinner and the phone goes, it only takes a minute to pop on the little pea cosies so your dinner doesn't get cold.

A hose with one end in the hole, pour gas in the other. About a pint to a quart depending on the size of the nest. Give it a minute or two for the fumes to penetrate. Pop in a fuse, light it, run. Get a nice little boom, flames, nest is gone.

That's how we did it when I was a kid. Good thing I wasn't allergic to yellow jackets.
