Welp, guess there's been quite enough excellent suggestions about "bees". What you need to do is to do a brief web search on the difference between bees and wasps., and then determine which you have. For that part, you can choose to have an assistant help with the identification, but not really sure how much help the dog will be! :shock:
Also keep in mind that there are many wasp-like insects out there that are NOT wasps! Those are beneficial also....so long as they don't cause you to fall over backwards and hurt something with the ol' noggin!
Also, often from this point of the season onward, hives of both bees and many wasps will do what is called "swarm", where they will send out many new potential queens in an effort to spread their colonies. Ants and termites also swarm!! So when you see an ant with tings and it's about 4 times bigger than normal, it's a new queen looking for her Kingdom.
Best suggestion is to take a decent digital camera and try to zoom in and get a few good pics of them going into and out of the hole. Then you can safely and comfortably load them up on your PC while researching what they are, or you can post here and stir the hive a bit, or can send a pic to a beekeeper or beekeeping organization and ask for help.
If these are NOT honeybees, then come back for suggestions on best way to deal with them without harming the tree....or yourself! And again, a pic would be very helpful.

A copse of wildbreaking silver birch and oak trees surround the top si
