You'll want to get rid of them before they cause damage to your house, seems they are living inside the brickwork so you'll have to find a pest controller. We had a similar problem however they were living in a tree making a hive and a local bee club person came to take them away as they use the hive as a starter kit for a new colonly. Unfortuantly you cant get to your hive.

a few year ago a bee truck rolled a few k's up the hw
anyways the next day i went to mow and as soon as i started the mower there was about 3000 bee's buzzing around me it was a funny humming noise
i got on the phone to a bee keeper and he told me before they move in under the house or in the roof to get rid of them
and said they hate the smell of kero so i started throwing kero about lol
i put it in a spray and they went everywhere up the road down the road as far as i could see
and there was an old man with a walking stick who was moving faster than i had ever seen !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
and that was the last of them not sure where they went ?

My Bee guy finally came and took his hives off the farm a few days ago.
After being there nearly 2 months the grass was 2 foot high and they hang around in the grass for about 3 days before dieing.

I slashed it with the cab tractor cos they get pretty agro

There were plenty of them on the windows looking in giving me death stares but dad drove passed and said they had completely swarmed the roof of the tractor.

Seems to be the moment for them swarming.

Bees are attracted to flowers.......Rose.🙄
I'd rather wear a Beetle out by racing it than by polishing it!

Just had to deal with a similar problem last week in a retirement hostel where bees were getting in an exhaust vent for bathroom located on outside wall, wasnt many bees you could see from outside but couldnt get access as was to high for ladder, so i decided to cut a hole in bulkhead where duct ran through, as i was drilling holes to get jigsaw in bees started coming out but luckily i had flyspray on hand and masking tape to cover holes asap. called in pest guy and had to dust through holes i drilled, and then heard the loudest buzzing noise in the wall and he said there is one massive hive behind that wall, a week later there was the biggest hive i had ever seen with 10s of thousands of bees all dead in bottom luckily, so from the pics of the ones you have put up looks like it will be at least 3 times as big! Good luck.

Also it was a very messy and sticky process to clean up.
watever

Shelltox pest strip placed near the entry point (if you can't find the entry just hang a few around the area) they'll be gone in next to no time, done it heaps of times on building sites. If its a bit high just fix the strips to a long stick and lean it against the wall. 👍

The weep holes around the lead flashing are too big, after the bees have gone you need to silicone the holes leaving a small hole at the bottom where it meets the lead.
Leave enough gap for water that enters the cavity to escape
