You say 'a situation like this' - but you don't say wether or not you are certain that you have a honeybee hive.
First you should make sure what type of insect you are dealing with. Yellow jackets (a species of hornet) look much like honeybees, and tend to live in the ground. However, they make paper nests (you are not likely to be able to see the paper nest) and they make no honey.
Yellow jackets can be more agressive then honeybees, can be slightly more difficult to remove, but there is no reason not to kill them, in fact it's advisable, and not terribly difficult.
Both insects sleep at night, so the common approach is to find access to the nest at dusk, then to spray a canful of the streamming kind of hhornet spray down into the opening.
