Bees have taken up residence by my back patio door inside my siding. I cannot go outside from that door. There are more bees coming then were last week. Can you direct me to who I can call about removing these bees and finding if there is a hive in my attic, or wherever. Thank you, Margaret Payne.
Sorry, but it’s very difficult to get a picture of the bees. I am pretty sure they are not wasps.

We can't make recommendations about private companies. But there are many reputable exterminators who could handle the problem. Read here about bees and wasps:
