You'll have to paint, varnish or replace the unfinished cedar/redwood anywhere around your home. You may have rot-resistant woods because you thought you wouldn't have to do those things but soft woods are very attractive to wood-boring bees. Wood stains don't do it because they don't repel enough. All wood gives off a decay odour which attracts bees. Caulk holes in wood decks and siding.
BTW - Bees are attracted to the blue-yellow area of the colour spectrum, as they cannot see red.
Hope this helps.

Either control access or seal holes. Use of strong smell frequently may help

"swati s" has the right answer. You will have to eliminate the source of attraction.

or a stain will do to.
