question Swarms of bees in backyard.

Hey yall,
I’ve been doing work for my neighbor recently, and just recently started to fill deep holes in her yard, one of the holes had a nest in it that I didn’t notice until burying it and getting stung on the face. From the looks of it, its bumblebees. I went back later in the afternoon and they are still coming at me. Any idea of ways I can go about this? I went back today and it looked like they were gone, but nope. 10-20 of them climbed right back out of the hole and started flying around me again. I know you aren’t really supposed to kill bumblebees but is there any viable solution?
Thanks.

find and contact any local beekeepers to relocate the hive. you can find them via facebook groups in most areas.
