they are definitely bees, not similarly colored wasps? personally i have much less sympathy for wasps than bees, as they don't make honey or do anything particularly helpful that i know of.

only thing i can say is you need to eliminate the nest from inside your house somehow...i heard something about bees being docile when you smoke them out, but really, i don't know that i would try that myself. maybe call a beekeeper, haha.

I'm going to ignore any previous sentiments beyond smoke and say this: why don't you start a metal folk swing practice in the house. Providing it's loud enough you won't need to pay an exterminator or call in a beekeeper.

call a professional. they can remove and relocate the hive/nest if possible and it really isn't a good idea to leave something like that alone. if it's bees, a local beekeeper might do it for free if he can get the queen (so the colony will follow).

btw, if it is wasps, they are still good for the enviro b/c they are natural predators of pest insects (like gypsy moth caterpillars) but could potentially be more aggressive and more of a threat to you. but a professional to at the least assess the situation is the way to go.

there are a lot of beekeepers who will come out and remove honey bees for free.
