I.G.
There is probably a hive or hive "start up" near. If this is your private pool I can only urge you to contact a local beekeeper. Please do not gas a hive you may find.
Bees are terribly important for the environment AND agriculture and they have been going through a rough couple of years. In many regions beekeeper have lost most of their stock to colony collapse and would be HAPPY to take an intact hive off your hands.
Bees sometimes build hives in the walls of homes. If you suspect this, you will need a professional exterminator to remove them.
Good luck!
