    are they boring holes into the wood frame? Are you sure it's the same bunch that stung yall? It's usually carpenter(wood) bees that bore into wood, and I didn't think they'd sting, I've worked all around em and never been bit.
    After a crop duster sprayed near here a couple of years ago the bees all died, even a wild bunch I'd been watching out in the woods, hoping to rob the tree later on, but they all disappeared. My garden hardly produced at all that year, and the seeds I'd used for years were no longer getting pollinated, so the next spring I had to buy all new ones because the old ones wouldn't grow. Since then I haven't even sprayed wasp nests because they were near the only source of pollination left. Even a nest that started in the well house was spared, although I went in it regular to turn on the water to the garden, but they seemed to get used to me and left me alone ( I think they also liked the fact that when I turned that valve the drip would give em some water too ; )
    One thing I learned a long time ago NA, if a swarm of most anything gets after you, and you're wearing a hat, stand still and throw that hat, they'll follow the motion(just be using the spare seconds you gain to locate a suitable place to(hopefully) ease off in to ; )
