Since it is not an emergency nor a police matter, that is the last number you want to call. Instead call; (209) 372-0200. Or, wait until Wednesday and I'll ask some of those that work in Buildings & Grounds and see what they have to say.Quote

For a situation like this I would call Yosemite Dispatch: (209) 379-1992.

You don't call them for non emergency things like bees.Quote

You don't call the Yosemite Dispatch number (209) 379-1992 for an emergency. You dial 911 instead.
Not for bees.Quote
]The Yosemite Dispatch phone number should be used for non-emergency issues that NPS might need to dispatch personnel out. ....
No, it would not. They do not "dispatch" personnel for that.Quote
Calling in to report an active beehive in one of the park's comfort stations would be appropriate.

The person was being polite. Don't bother Dispatch with minor problems like this.

It appears that there is a honeybee hive in the toilet in the restroom at the parking area for the hike to North Dome. It's been there since last year. For obvious reasons no one is going to use the facilities. It's hard to believe that whoever is responsible for cleaning the restroom hasn't noticed this. Can someone contact or supply the contact of the person who could get this taken care care of?

One thing to be aware of when using a cell phone to dial 911, unless you are able to give the operator your exact location there might be a problem in them finding where you are. See this article at http://www.nbcnews.com/tech/security/why-calling-911-your-cell-not-always-good-idea-n99736 Also, we found out on Monday that calling dispatch can be faster than calling 911. On Monday, we were one of the first people at the scene of a car accident. People that got there first were trying to call 911 and could not connect so I called dispatch. I was already giving information of the injuries to the dispatcher and people calling 911 still were waiting for someone to answer them.

They've been there for a year. The only reason they'd be there for so long is if there was a queen present. Honey bees don't congregate like that for no reason. A brief review of Google search results indicates that the short growing season at 8000' puts a lot of stress on a hive so it may be small and not very robust. A lack of a large swarm doesn't mean there is no hive.

My only other experience with bees was when they unfortunately colonized a beam outside my house. The queen had found her way between a wood beam and the brick that had been later laid over it. There were mass quantities of bees congregating on a beam extending from the roof. When I called someone to deal with them he really stirred them up. I've never seen such a mass quantity of bees in flight at one time, as I safely watched through the window.

That sounds more like a resting swarm than a hive. A swarm will hang around while scouts look for a suitable place to colonize.
