I've been seeing honeybees acting desperately lately, including climbing on me in my own yard (100s of yards from their hives), butting up against our window screens, etc.

you can get those type of cranes from harbor frieght.  I had one mounted in the bed of my truck to pick up my inflatable boat so i didn't have to take the motor off

I say prob yellow jackets, those suckers are nasty when you pass by a garbage can.
I put 6 hives on a small trailer offset so I can get behind them to work on them.  All have a ratchet strap on them to keep from moving or loosing anything like the tele cover.  They are only about 24 inches off the ground with bottom ent.  Great thing is I just have to cover the entry with screen and hook up to the trailer with the pick up to move them.  I do smoke them a little, it works very well for 99.9% of the guards but that’s why they call them guards, and some are very good at their jobs...ouch.
Put a small branch in front of the entry when you get to the new location so they reorient.
