Do you think you can put a picture of what they look like up? The discription of what it is would help (bee, wasp, winged ant).
There are bees all over the rabbit hutches!

I'm glad they left! How are your buns?
They sound like carpenter bees you could google your state for black bee types to find out what type they are if you'd like know for sure. Your county extension office probably has info, too.
Around here they swarm (split hives) mostly in spring and fall, and I've had to high-tail it inside a few times to avoid them after hearing that roar coming and seeing them almost right on top of you.
I hope they were the basically non stinging type and hope your buns are ok.

Chillin' with the herd
In some states like Florida where I am, if you hire a Bee Pro to remove Bee's by LAW they are supposed to kill them, if you live in a state that has been proven to have Africanized Bee's they probably have the same law.
But I agree if they are all black they are probably Carpenter Bee's. Really harmless as with almost all Bee's if your not wearing a strong perfume or after shave or don't start swatting them, you can also ramp them up by killing one, it puts off a smell that other Bee's pick up that tells them to protect the hive.

Wasp?
Without you posting a picture we're just really guessing...
I feel your pain...right now I'm battling wasps, yellow jackets AND bumble bees in my barns!! The goal is to eliminate the wasps and yellow jackets and get the bumble bees to move...right now they are winning...
