A lot of local beekeeper chapters will come get the swarm for FREE. i am assuming these are honey bees. look online under beekeepers or such and give them a call. worked for me twice.
A few soapy mix in spray bottle sprayed on flying things like bees and wasps will cause them to drop like flies. Obviously be careful that others don't sneak up on you and that they're not africanized bees! This is for when they haven' t made a complete hive yet and there isn't a lot of them.
Cover yourself as much as possible, ie long clothing, gloves, hat, scarf etc.that is light (ie white) in color. Don't look like a flower. Then use a sprayer of some sort, bottle with longer reach or garden hose with spay applicator etc. Spray them then get out of there quickly. :) The soap will prevent their flying so they can't get food or water. You may have to do this more than once until none are around anymore.
Do NOT do this if you're allergic to bees! Call a beekeeper.
Cleaning a bird cage may often feel overwhelming, with both
daily and weekly tasks that need to be done; however it is a crucial aspect in
ensuring your bird remains healthy and has a clean and comfortable living
environment. Using cage liners will help
make this process much easier. Here is a
short video clip explaining basic maintenance requirements to keeping a bird
cage clean.
I have found a chart that outlines the appropriate bar
spacing for several breeds of birds, hope you find this helpful.

The travel bird cage is usually a smaller version of
a normal bird cage. The travel bird cage does not need to be large, nor does it
need to be as durable as your bird cage. Be sure that your bird can comfortably
fit in this cage for a short amount of time so that it will not become
stressed.
These cages provide your bird with the exact freedom they need in
order to enjoy a full flight. This cage is advised for community birds.
The quality bird cages are often made of iron and the top quality
are made of stainless steel. You can find other bird cages lessen in quality
with low quality powder-coat or a painted finish.
