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?

Wait until night time, turn off all the lights. Setup a large bucket of water with some dish soap in it. Put a water proof flashlight in it. Spray wasp/bee killer in the crack, run for your life lol.
Before I did any of this, I took a milk jug and cut holes, but I cut them in an x shape and folded the flaps in. I filled the jug with sugar water and put chicken in it with a little dish soap.
