[AG] trouble with bees

[Annis, David]

Maybe you can help me with information. I live in North Phoenix (Tatum
Ranch), and have a large cluster of honey bees (many thousands) under a
protected eave of my house. They have been there since Sunday, day and
night, and I want to know what they are doing. Are they trying to build a
hive? Are they just resting temporarily? Should I do something with them?
They do not seem aggressive, and I have walked past the area (at night)
without being attacked. Still, they are only eight feet from my front door,
and maybe ten feet from my neighbors side door, and they may yet pose a
threat.

Is this kind of activity common, or do I have a problem that must be dealt
with?

Thank you for any help you can provide! An answer by e-mail is fine, or you
can call me if you want.
