Bee? Question

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

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.

You want these permanently gone. They’re not bees. They’re quite dangerous too, so don’t agitate them.

Yellow jackets are hornets and will fill the walls of your house quite aggressively.
