The same thing happened to me,they built a huge nest inside the wall.I had to get a pest control man to come and spray liguid poison into the area where they were going in and out.This took 3 days of spraying to get rid of them and it took about 3 weeks for it to kill them all.They were coming in the house thru cracks in the paneling.he came inside and used an aerosol spray can with a straw on it and sprayed the stuff inside the wall and then patched the holes with some duct tape.He told me that if you kill the queen bee the others will leave the nest.That was 3 yrs ago and I haven't seen anymore bees.If you cut open the wall to get the honey out,don't eat it,it's contaminated with poison.Good Luck.

First off, find out where they are nesting... its easiest to do this when they are active, during the warmer part of the day....
Spray the nest when it is COOL... the bugs will all be in/near the nest, and not as active. Early morning, or late evening is the best time for this, and you will be safest from getting stung.
The next day, if you do not see any more of them flying around... then remove the nest... a broom comes in handy for this, heheh. If there are still critters about, then repeat the spray (Raid wasp/hornet killer is excellent... I carried it with me when on the road doing service work)
If the nest is inaccessible... actually INSIDE the wall... and yeah, Ive opened up walls to find them there, hehehe... you may not feel up to opening the wall up to remove the nest... but if you take a couple of days in a row, and kill all the flying critters you see, while it is cool.... that should help a lot. Then, you need to seal the hole. I would recommend expanding foam insulation. Use the DuPont foam (comes in a blue can).... its much easier to clean up after, than Great Stuff. Read the directions on the label...look specifically for 'clean up with soap and water'....Great Stuff is a good foam... but if you get it on you... you have to wear it until it wears off, hehehe.
Good Luck!

I have heard that there are fake plastic wasp nests that you can buy. These will deter real wasps from building nearby. You need to find out what kind of wasps they are. Paper wasps usually do not return to the same site twice. I would try putting something greasy like nivea or vaseline. (cover chair with a towel when you want to sit on it!) I think there are better answers but I don't know them!! Cheers.

Buy some bee and wasp spray and spray their nests at night. After you do it once or twice they should never return. I had to do this at my son's house and it worked. Good luck!

once you have got rid of them, use the glassfiber gauze they use for mosquito screens to cover the vents. Available by the yard.

Can you seal up the holes where they are entering? Caulk or foam? Maybe it would save on heating and cooling, too.....

Suggest that you somehow plug the entrance holes.
