Default Bee deterrent?

A rather odd question perhaps.
A cottage locally is being plagued by small bees. I don't know the name,
species or type of bee. They are nesting within the old and soft
brickwork.
No nesting within the building. Might be able to get a pic of one, if of
any
interest.
I would like to deter them, I most certainly do not want to
kill/eradicate
them.
They don't bother me but are bothering the tenants and their young
children.
Any ideas please for a suitable deterrent or some enticement to persuade
them to move house?

Thank you,
Nick.

That appears to be spot on.
How best to deal with the occupants is another question
