I will assume that 3000 is an exaggeration. If the nest is smaller than a Baseball, then buy a commercial spray can, and let 'em have it. Make sure the kids are inside, or at least a very good distance away. Be sure to follow the directions on the can. A local hardware store or gardening store may carry cans. If the nest is larger than a football, then I strongly suggest calling a pest control center, as you or others will more likely than not become severely injured in attempting to deal with this problem. If you do not wish to spend the money on a pest controller, then keep a good distance away from the nest until the cold winter time, when the insects are not at home. Bash the nest then. Hornets, yellow jackets, or other insects of that kind dont need much prompting to attack, and surely trying to knock down the nest, even from a "safe distance", or even indoors, is extremely unwise, as the insect will become highly agitated for a long period of time. Thats exactly what you have. A swarm of honey bees. First jellow jackets nest in the ground in the south and in telephone and cable tv pedestals in the north. If you just leave them alone, they will leave, usually in 24 hours. They are migrating from one nesting place to another, massed around the queen. If they are still a problem, call a local honey producer in the area and ask him to remove the swarm. They will do this for usually no fee.

A group of fleas is called a swarm.
Names used include tremor, temblor, and seism. A "microseism" is a faint tremor caused by any of several sources (earthquake, avalanche, large waves, explosions). Colloquial terms for minor quakes are shakes, rumbles, or bumps.

Those insects are likely early instar fungus gnats. They are small, black, and tend to gather in swarms resembling a dark moldy patch. Fungus gnats are attracted to fungi and decaying organic matter, which is why they might be mistaken for mold when they swarm.
A hive or swarm is what a group of honeybees generally will be called.Specifically, the term depends upon the location of the honeybees (Apis spp). Inside their shelter, a group is designated by the same term as the residence: hive. Outside their shelter, a group will be described as a swarm.
A large number of wasps is called a swarm. Wasps are known to feed on other insects and there are over 20,000 species of wasps.
I found a way to catch yellow jackets quite by accident. I had opened a can of tuna fish to make a salad and poured the water from the can into a bowl for my cat to drink. I put the bowl on the deck and as the cat began drinking the tuna water, yellow jackets started to swarm around the bowl. The cat gave up and left it to the bees. After about 1/2 hour there were at least 15 dead yellow jackets floating in the bowl with more swarming around and going inside the bowl. I'm going to start using this in my pop bottle traps and hang them way back in the back of the yard.
Technically, any animal/insect with a mouth can bite. However, only some bites are poisonous. Yellow jackets can bite you but they normally wouldn't and it wouldn't be poisonous. Yellow jackets transfer venom into the body via stingers. So to harm you they would have to sting you. [Yellow jackets can only sting once, then they die] A yellow jacket could bite you because they have mandibles, sort of like teeth (you could look them up on Google). So to sum it up they could bite you, but it wouldn't harm you.
Non-aggressive mini yellow jackets swarming by thousands on the ground can still cause a problem for people and animals that encounter them, as they may sting as a defensive measure. They may also be swarming temporarily as they search for a new home, but once the swarming stage is over they can turn aggressive. It is best to try to get rid of them if they are anywhere near areas frequented by people or animals.
Hornets should be killed with a very strong spray. Do not attempt to break the nest down as this will cause a swarm of angry hornets.
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.
Bees will instinctively swarm around their current queen. A swarm of reporters descended on the mayor's office after the announcement.
That clump of bees was probably a swarm of honey bees. If they haven't left with in 24hrs then it may be a hornet or wasp nest but most likely it was a swarm. The clump together so that they can protect the queen who is usually in the center of the clump or swarm.
