If they're honeybees there should be a local beekeeper who can give advice or even take the hive away.
I left the ones that are lodging free of charge in may cavity wall since last season and they did not die or bugger off but are now fooking hug. So I have Nippon at hand and they are not a happy bunch at the moment. No bee keeper were interested as they could not get to them so it was left to me and it seems to have done the job.
Felt guilty at first but it was them or me
