possibly
That nest appears to be wasp and not bees. A former beekeeper like myself would recognize the difference. Wait until you crawl under a car and see a wasp nest with moving creatures on it.

This stuff is incredible, and all natural. It smells like brown spices and lemongrass. The insects are instantly paralyzed, and the nest pheromone is covered up, so nobody else will try to move back there next year.

We get paper wasps over here. Nasty buggers! they hang around their nests & if you get too close They start attacking you. Surface insect spray fixes them. A good spray on their nest gets rid of them.

I made due with some spray brake cleaner once. It froze the critter instantly.
