I have 4 bee or wasp hives that I know of around my house. Anytime I go outside I get swarmed by them and they are big.
One is in the mailbox attached to the house right by the front door.
Another is inside my bar-b-que
and there is 2 up inside my umbrella on my patio table.
My main focus right now is on the ones up inside the umbrella as I'm selling my patio table on saturday and need to get them out!
Thanks

If you dont want to spend money here are a couple options which work for me. Take a garden hose with a spray nozzle (gun style for distance) and spray down the nest this will upset the bees for a little bit but when the hives are soaked enough the bees will leave then you can knock it down. Or if you want to do it quickly for the umbrella first take a broom and knock the hive down using a sweeping motion then get back for a few moments as this will annoy the bees momentarily then they will leave since there is no hive there any more then destroy the hive with your foot (wearing shoes of course)

If they are bees, call a beekeeper, seriously. The bee population is in trouble and additional bees would be most welcome.
What you are describing sounds more like wasps, gray papery-looking hanging nests?
Hit the local hardware or home supply center and look for one of the long term contact pesticides, many of which contain a chemical called pyrethene. The spray can will normally say that the effects last 4 to 8 weeks. Just spray the nests.
This can also be used indoors unless you have fish and is very effective for controlling ants, too. Just spray it along their normal travel routes.

At home depot or walmart you can buy some wasp/hornet spray. If allows you to stand 20 feet of more away and spray the nest. It kills them really fast, like seconds. Wait and spray the nests at night when all the little buggers are inside.
