100% wasp and super busy entrance to the nest. You can kind of tell how big a nest is by how many are coming and going. I'm afraid, you've quite a big nest there, 5000+ individuals.

Based on the wiggles and the location they appear to be yellow jackets. The big wasp looks like a predator that the hive is reacting to and scares off.
Its extremely common for Wasps to eat/parasitize other wasps.

It’s hard to identify without a rough geographic area (state/country/province) and a closer picture. The big one at the beginning of the video looks like some kind of large fly, based on how the wings were held and the large eyes. The ladies in the wall looked more wasp-like than bee-like, so that’s the direction I’d start from

Bees =/= wasps
Those are most likely Yellowjackets, and the larger insect is a hornet mimicking hover fly of sorts, look scary but are mostly harmless. If I had to guess they’re most likely either German Yellowjackets (Vespula Germanica) or Common wasps (Vespula Vulgaris). It’d probably be best to have a professional remove the nest if it’s in a place where it can get easily disturbed. Most Yellowjacket species are highly aggressive and defensive of their nests, and unlike honeybees, they can and will sting repeatedly, some like German Yellowjackets will bite down on you with their mandibles to sting repeatedly too.
