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?


It's far better to educate the humans. Why are they bothered?
They are flapping over nothing - I don't know if those bees can
sting, but I am pretty sure that they never do.


Regards,
Nick Maclaren.
