If you kill off the bees, you may have a new problem. If they have beeswax and honey in the walls and no bees for temperature control, the wax may start to melt and you might have honey & beeswax running out from under the baseboards. Also, if the bees are gone, the sweet honey may attract ants, mice or other critters. Unfortunately there is not a good way to quickly remove bees from inside a wall. You can tear off the siding and scrape out all the honey & beeswax (after you kill the bees) or you can set up a hive box near the entrance and try to attract them to the box so they rob out all of the honey in the walls and bring it with them. Beekeepers love to come and capture swarms if they are outside hanging on a tree branch or some easily accessible place but when they are inside a wall, it is both hard and expensive to clean them out. If the 'bees' are yellowjackets or other types of wasps, you will have an easier time killing them but they may still come back each year. Hope this helps.
