Answer 1

It's probably not a bee hive, it's probably a hornets nest.

Answer 2

I have never seen a bee hive, I think it is a misconception.

I have seen swarms, here is a picture of a swarm.

If it is bee's try to find a bee keeper who will take them. The bees are in trouble anyway.

I think you may have a hornet nest.
