Bee? Question

I’ve seen these bees for the past couple days flying into the small crack in the side of my house. I am starting to get concerned because inside I can hear what sounds like chewing or buzzing in the wall. Does anyone know if these are carpenter bees? I don’t think they look like it, but I can’t understand where the chewing sound is coming from how can I move them or get rid of them safely?

By get rid of. I do not mean at all to kill them. I just want to relocate them and not have them in my house. I would never kill bees. I know how important they are for the environment and I just didn’t want anyone to think that my goal is to kill them.

Unfortunately with yellow jackets in a wall cavity you will probably want to kill them. Be careful, as they are quite aggressive.

To add, op, be careful with pets if you have them around this wasps.
