put up another box for the birds. the bees are really important for the flowers and fruits in our gardens. you may find that they move elsewhere next year.

I agree with Seaburngirl that it would be a good idea to leave them alone and buy another bird box. Some people even buy dedicated bumblebee boxes, as they are becoming endangered. They are not aggressive unless threatened.
