What you are probably seeing are wasps and hornets. Bees usually don't swam at you unless provoked. I don't mess around with them trying to be humane. If you have them that bad I would call an exterminator. They are nothing that you want to mess with on your own.

If bees have swarmed to your house you should be able to call a beekeeper to come get the swarm. You don't want them using your walls dripping honey. We need bees. They're a very important part of pollination. If you can avoid killing them please do.
I agree with Kay. It sounds like you have a big problem that should be handled by an exterminator. If you decide to spray on your own until the exterminator gets there you should wait until night when the temperature has dropped and the hornets have gone back to the nest. Do it from a distance and leave the area immediately.
wasps and bees oh my!!!!!
