Here are some links to maybe find help.
Also know how high they are up, can they get to them inside (cut out)or will they have to do a trap out? Some will do it just for the bees some will charge.

This one has a way to contact to seek help.
http://pastatebeekeepers.org/

this one has a menu for bee removers.
http://pennapic.org/

this a county club but has a list of swarm/remover keepers in several counties.

There are a lot of other listings when you goggle your states bee keeping club that comes up.

I'm hoping I can find somebody that will help me set them up elsewhere on the property. Not even sure if that's possible... The cabin is on about 20 acres. And I've always wanted a bee box, it would be great if I could find somebody to help me do that. I picked up a couple bee books at the library I'm gonna study up on. Sorry for hijacking this thread OP

Books for you
Bee Keeping for Dummies (No Pun) is a good read and well worth it. Written so one can understand and covers everything.

Bee Keeping Naturally - by Michael Bush - my bible.

Go here scroll down to the section, swarms cut outs, trap outs and bee trees. Lots of good information and you may learn enough to just do the job your self.

I have bumblebees in my shed walls - been there for years and I have never been stung. With the bee shortage, I just don't want to kill them. Hornets and yellowjackets are another matter however.

The bug bomb mentioned sounds like a good idea.

EDIT: Today I got up in my stand and quickly sprayed the ceilings with hornet spray - hoping this will deter them from making a nest inside.
