Expert Response

Thank you for reaching out to ask2.extension.

My app says these are plum fruit moth.  Your best bet is to have a professional come out, especially with your bees close by.  This looks pretty bad from the pictures, so you may want to call someone soon.  They should be able to tell you what to do and not harm your bees.

I live down by the So DAK/Iowa border and am not familiar with things in your area.  I would suggest googling insect removal in your county or city or check with your county’s extension office which can be found by googling your county.

Sorry I cannot be more help.
