This colony of Africanized bees was found in a bay window on my house in Phoenix. We made multiple attempts to have the hive treated and removed, but they returned each spring. Ultimately, the windowsill had to be completely rebuilt to remove their pheromones. Thankfully, they haven't been seen since!

Hehe, they were dead when the photo was taken. I waited safely inside until the beekeeper has poisoned them and started ripping the window apart to remove the hive.
There is a Youtube video of the swarm outside the window. I'll see if I can find that.
EDIT: I couldn't figure out how to post the Youtube video. But here is a link to it...
