sounds like a job for a professional tbh.if they are nesting in your cavity it will be a hard job to get them out.

unless its a bumble which is a big bee it is probably a mason bee so no need to worry they will not sting they are know as safe bees the male has no sting at all the female does but is very very unlikely to use it unless she is picked up and handled roughly and then it is a very weak sting.
