Looks like hornets to me, I am VERY scared!!!! They are MEAN in a bad way!!!
Once the visitors are removed, repaint the area sky blue. Sky blue, they will not re-build the nest.

This shot is looking down from above on the top of the "roof" over the bay windows.

Man Grant, that is a lot of bugs. I would imagine you might get some water damage there. Can you hear them buzzing in the wall? Try doing the old drinking glass on the wall trick. That inside the wall thing, I don't know what you do, but it needs to be sealed up, maybe some flashing.
I always spray, leave the nest up until I don't see signs of life for a few days before taking it down.

Just pulled a dead one from the windowsill... looks like you guys are right, fuzzy body and appears to be a bee, not a wasp. Some ex boyscout I am
 Is the approach for eradicating these guys the same? This location is four stories up, so I frankly don't want to open myself to the liability of inviting a beekeeper to access the area unless they have some sort of trick of which I am unaware...

No
a beekeeper will lure them into a hive, then smoke out any stragglers then... then you will have to tear the wall apart to get the honey & comb out in a way it is not as bad as hornets... |

Honeybees are disappearing at high rates. Just dying off, vanishing.
Don't kill 'em.

I am in fact getting some water damage in that area, so I would like to seal the crack regardless of the presence of the bees. In theory I would be happy to cohabitate with the bees, but I don't see how this situation will work out for the both of us... it's a brick building, so I'm not sure about the feasibility of sealing and weatherproofing the area while still providing egress for a bee hive. Not looking forward to removing the honey and comb.
I have a good friend who is actually a local beekeeper, so I will contact him in the AM and see what he has to say. 126coupe, sorry for hijacking your thread!

So no matter what I do with the bees themselves, I'm going to have to rip out and replace a bunch of sheet rock. Great

in my area, some beekeepers will trap them for free. good luck with them. my neighbor had huge honey bee colony up in his home. they had them transfered to some beekeeper boxes in the backyards. i jog past them everyday, and everyone is living happily ever after. bees, we NEED them, without them we are in a world of hurt.
