Help me ID litte bees

I was looking at my cable/phone and other "boxes" on the side of my house today at around 4:30PM. As I stood there, tons of little bees all zoomed in, one by one, like they were coming in for a landing, and went behind one of the bigger "boxes". There has to be a nest behind it. Later I went out and they are flying in and out. They are very, very busy.

I love bees and need them for my garden, but I'm not happy about them living behind the box and perhaps even in the siding. Can anyone tell me what type of bees these are and whether they are likely to drill into the side of the house? They're definitely not carpenter bees, thankfully.

And any ideas, if they are "good bees" how to entice them to move elsewhere without me having to have them destroyed? Thanks! (And yes, I see that need to have the house pressure-washed!)
