Before you do anything to kill them see if you can locate your local bee keeper to remove them. Some, not all, will remove a hive as a public service because it's a win/win on both sides. Bee keeper gets new bees and public gets rid of the hive. Just remember that bees are our friends and killing them only hurts us. Besides, there have been reports of our bees disappearing and that could literally doom us. Anyhow, please try to save them before you have to resort to extermination.

I would leave the bees alone for right now. Even if they are a problem I would like to see you let them "be" so to speak. There is something killing off the bee populations all over the world and the bees are in shout supply these days. I am not some kind of environmentalist or PETA member or anything like that but I have heard a lot about the bees dying and know their value to plants we enjoy and to the food we eat. You can look up bee collapse on the internet and see what I'm talking about. I know bees can be a problem, but you can help them by leaving them alone for now and do mother nature a small but important favor. If we take care of our own small enviornment the whole environment is better off. Please consider what I am saying and look up the bee collapse problem and consider letting them be.

It depends on what kind of bees they are. If they are the big "bumblebees" that I suspect are there (because they burrow in wood), they are harmless. They don't attack humans like wasps or yellow-jackets. But if you still want to get rid of them then I recommend either knocking it down with a pole of sufficient length so that you don't get swarmed or by gassing it. With little children around, I'd suggest the first option. If they are bumblebees, however, they don't have a nest like a wasp. They burrow in the wood of the deck and make tunnels inside of it. If that is what is down there, then I'd suggest patching the holes shut with something.

hire an exterminator, they get paid to go under decks and obliterate nests like that...or do it yourself...
