Thank you so much. I’ll let her know.

The call came in from Vector Control who said that they weren't exactly able to see under the porch but thought it was an established colony. Definitely id'd as honey bees.

Wanda Robinson is the homeowner: 510-750-8771

3945 High Street, Oakland

She has been spraying them with vinegar (no pesticides) but they have not left.  She cannot afford to pay for any removal.

They are under the front porch, and you can come see them even if she isn't home. Important: please contact her before going over there. The front porch is only accessible from the right side of the building.  Go along the right side of building and walk around to the back, turn left and left past the shed to get to the front porch.

If you are able to look at it please let me know, and I'll let Wanda know you will be calling.

This falls under community service. Maybe someone who lives close by can help?
