Happening all over
The cool wet spring kept the bees hived up longer than usual, so when good weather came the swarming response was strong. Any local beekeeper will come and collect this swarm and give it a good home.
Leave them alone, they'll be
Leave them alone, they'll be gone in a few days.

cities are where people live. Including people who are allergic to bees. "Leave them alone" is not an adequate public safety response.
Stinging
Honey bees very rarely sting unless provoked. Swarms are even less likely to sting.
