By cluster, I suspect you mean a swarm on a tree or post or something similar.The answer is, other than telling a local beekeeper about them there is nothing you really can do. After a period of time ranging from a couple of hours to a couple of days they will move on.A beekeeper would check the swarm and, if they are honey bees, would probably collect them and put them in a hive -- after all, the swarm is looking for a new home.

Can bees use their body heat to kill enemies in the nest?
Yes. This technique is used by Japanese honey bees on their predator the giant hornet. When the hornet enters a nest, the bees swarm over it and vibrate violently to produce heat. The heat they produce is about 2 degrees more than what the hornet can tolerate. They can only do this 1 hornet at a time and so far no other specie is known to do this yet.
How do bees fly in a swarm?
Swarming is the natural method of multiplying for honey bees. The queen will leave the hive with up to half of the workers from the colony and settle somewhere nearby for about 48 hours. During that time, scout bees will fly off to find a permanent home for the swarm. When they have found somewhere suitable, they will all depart together and head for their new home.

How does a beekeeper get the swarm to go inside the hives?
Bees like to be in a dark place so there are two methods of getting a swarm into a hive. The fastest way is to shake the bees out of the container that they are in, straight onto the top of the frames that are inside the hive and replace the roof of the hive thereby leaving them in the dark and giving them the chance to settle down. If you have time available, it is much more interesting to watch them walk into the hive by themselves. Every hive has a small entrance for the bees near the bottom of the hive. You place a ramp from the ground to the entrance of the hive and shake the bees out of the container that they are in, onto the ramp. When the bees find the hive entrance and realise that it is dark inside, they will start to walk into the hive but as it is a small entrance and there are lots of bees, it will probably take about an hour for them all to get in.
Why bees fall to the ground after poisoning their nests?
DON'T KILL BEES!!!! Bees pollinate everything and without bees we'd be hard up for a good food supply throughout the world. Bees harm nothing! When you poisoned the hive you killed some bees and those that fall to the ground and are crawling around are stunned or disorientated. The next time you want to get rid of bees and their hive call a beekeeper in and they'd be glad to take it from you for free! Beekeepers are alarmed in the U.S. and Canada that their hives are full of dead bees. i have flower gardens and make a point of buying flowering shrubs or flowers that actually attract bees and I've never been stun once by them. I've even had them crawling on arms or on my hands. The only time normal bees will sting is if you accidently stepped on one in bare feet or put your hand down on them. It's their way of survival. Other than that bees do not swarm after people, only killer bees do (more aggressive thanks to science.) One shouldn't fool Mother Nature like that.
