Subject: Bees - a lot - but not a swarm

Message Body:
We are planning a new neighborhood association picnic, our first big event,
at Hoog Park in Novato (551 Marin Oaks. Drive
<https://www.google.com/maps/search/Novato+(551+Marin+Oaks.+Drive?entry=gmail&source=g>
on August 30 and have already mailed invitations to approximately 400
households at considerable expense. We are now told we're unable to use the
location because of a bee problem. Definitely confirmed - was there today
and the minute we brought out our lunch (and also a piece of raw meat) they
were everywhere. We had to leave the area. The Public Works Department says
they are bees. We just assumed they were Yellowjackets.

We have been told that Public Works that they are bees with a suspected
nest in the big oak tree above the picnic/bar-b-que area. They said they
"contacted a couple bee keepers:" and everybody was busy in next few weeks.

The parks department has suggested we moved the event to Miwok Park. It's a
long way from our neighborhood and we have no financial way of notifying
400 households with a new mailer.  We desperately hoping to hold the event
at Hoog Park on August 30.

We're throwing ourselves at your feet - do you think there is any possible
solution to the problem?
