You can spray the nest with a flammable substance and then light it. You would want to run away after you light it because all the bees come fly out and around. Don't light the nest on fire if it is attached to your house and in an area where you could burn down a forest

I've sanded a wasp's nest. :D

Boy did that piss them off.

Used my leather gauntlets and fencing mask,
which worked very well, to keep them off me.

I had a huge wasp nest under three giant azalea bushes, which I didn't want to destroy, so I asked the county extension agent what I should do and this is what he told me:

If you want to destroy a wasp's nest without getting stung or destroying surrounding things, use liquid Sevin, mix it in a sprayer according to directions, wait until after sunset when they all return for the evening, and spray it into their nest.  A few wasps may come out to investigate, but not many.  If you see activity the next day, spray the nest again that evening.  Liquid Sevin is very toxic to bees and wasps, but it does not kill them so quickly that they race out to defend their nest, like they do if you use most bee and wasp sprays like that guy in the YouTube used.

I don't mind them; they prey on garden pests, though they also help themselves to the occasional ripe plum.  When I was a kid, I once watched a wasp swoop down and pluck a small caterpillar from a leaf.

Baseball bat, sand, water,  fence post, and rocks.  used them all.

Bumble bee in mid air, one baseball bad...

I herd it hit the bad.

I have been sitting there staring at them now, the honey bees.

White faced hornets are supposedly the strongest.

I threw rocks at the former before, even though I am dealthly allergic to bees.

Fence post or something else, can't remember.   It was at the beach, my brother and I were doing things to it, together.

Bees are symbolic, of something else toxic. I noticed that I don't want to kill them as much, as I been thinking about toxicities.
