Call whoever does your bug control and ask them. Deans or Massey???

You got stung! Bees do not bite.

Anyhow, your pest control service may or may not do it. Call them. They may refer you to a specialist in bee removal. They may be wasps or hornets.

Bees or wasps? As Gracie suggested, call your pest control company and have them take a look.

Easy do it yourself project.
 
If you do not have a pest control company, this is something that you can do yourself.

Knowing where the nest is, you can spray it with the appropriate spray and kill off the occupants.

I prefer RAID Wasp and Hornet Killer. It will spray a distance of about 22 feet. The wasps won't even realize you are around until its too late.

They are most likely some species of wasps. Bees generally are not aggressive. I had unplanned hives of feral bees in my back yard for years and went among them daily without ever being stung. The same spray will, of course, kill bees if they are the problem.
