Firstly, anything done should be something the neighborhood agrees
is a good solution, even if it's nothing.
We don't know if there is another exit from that cavity, or only the
one they are using. Screen might just trap them.
A possible mitigation would be to drill a hole in the side of the
tree so the bees exit parallel to the sidewalk,
& screening the slot, however that involves some "damage" to
the tree.
The simple solution may be to leave the cone in place and simply
stick a sign in it that says "caution honey-bees" on it.
The call came in from a passer-by, not the resident of the house
opposite.
There may be a constituency for leaving things as is.
imo if the home owners ask us for our assistance we'll try to
advise.
that's my 2¢

strip of screening up to the point where the bees would be
forced to come and go above head-height.

I took a look and it's definitely bees in
a street tree. The entrance is about a meter off the ground
directly towards the sidewalk so their flight path is
directly into where people would walk by. Someone has put an
orange traffic cone so I am guessing that they have been
there a while. Not sure what we should do about this. I
took a couple of photos.
I can take a look tomorrow.
We have tree a couple
bock away with a fairly large colony , been
there for at least 20
years ,most likely more
. the neighbors instead of being negative
put a bright yellow sign Bees , no one has
come to complaint to have them removed , the
entrance face the sidewalk about a foot off
the ground , we I walk my dogs they seat and
watch them {one of them is a bee catcher
rather fun to see him in action}
love to post a video
but for some reason I cannot . Education is
what we need ,
The
tree has a vertical slot in it, and a
colony of bees coming and going.
If
the entrance faces the sidewalk it
could be a problem.

It
looks devilishly difficult to do a
trap-out there.
I'm
not looking for someone to do a
trap-out, but to take a look at the
how
much the bees are, or are not, in
conflict with the neighbors,
If
you live in the neighborhood, could
you please have a look?
