Inspect and see what you have in the area that might be attracting them. Flowering plants maybe? Check when they are less active, very early morning and just after sunset.
Hello Roy, Remove any flowers to another place not near your front door. Or maybe if you have rather a lot of bees it could be you have a nest somewhere very close - maybe in your roof?
If you have plants close by that is drawing them in then I suggest that they be removed to another location in your garden. You could try using a bug spray around the door frame to see if this would deter them from landing.
call a bee keeper, its not unheard of for honey bees to get into the walls of houses for their hive, omg it was a sticky mess.
If they are carpenter bees:
They are very sensitive to smell. You can spray WD-40, but that can get very expensive. We use termite control Hi-Yield 38Plus, mixed to termite ratio, in a garden sprayer. Spray the area well and they will stop drilling in your wood. We do it twice a year and has been very effective for us.
they are drawn to pollen(flowers) & water so limit these around the area do not kill them if you have hive near area call local service to remove and relocate them it is usually a free service for bees since they are becoming endangered 8 species are they bees or wasps? make a paper bag nest to deter them from the area https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=diy+paper+bag+wasp+nest many people in the south of U.S. swear by painting porch ceilings shade of blue/green keeps them away too. the soft blue-green is referred to as "Haint Blue.".
