A spray of soap and water kills bees and other insects on contact.  About 
the same concentration as used in washing dishes works fine.

Any convenient sprayer that can put out a good volume works.  For small 
jobs, the kind window spray comes in are OK, but if dealing with a nest, 
something more industrial would be prudent.  Drenching with a bucket can 
work, too, but be sure not to miss or only get half the nest :(

Also, working after dark will ensure all the bees or wasps are home and not 
going to keep coming back.
