I thought I would hold off on answering in the hope that someone may have a good answer, be we could be here for months and the bees will either be gone or you will be covered in stings.
It's a difficult one but my thoughts would be.
#1 They are not protected. Yes they are enanged and we shoulkd try to preserve them, but if they are casuing problems then you may have to act.
#2 I wouldn't have thought they will damage the building.
#3 Yes the queen is probably in there and that is why they will sting you.
#4 I wouldn't call a professional, though it may be worth getting a devis or asking your Mayor.
#5 Do they bother you that much? If you can calmly walk past them and try not to use the door that often they probably will just get on with their job and ignore you.
#6 Someone told me once that they never go back to the same spot. However we have had them near our shed for the pasrt 3 years. They never bother us, and we just make sure not to stand on any.
#7 If all else fails I would get myself a can of expanding foam, shove it in the hole and give a damn good squirt. Not nice but I would imagine it will quickly suffocate them all and at the same time seal the whole up.
* I accept no reponsibilty if you get chased down the street by thousands of their buddies who live nearby. Bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
I'm sure more sensibler answers will follow now I've bumped up this thread.
