How much is it to start yourself out with a colony, and how expensive is it to maintain?

Quantitative answers would be nice

There must be a nest outside my front door in one of the bushes because all types of stinging insects fly in and out like a colony every day. It’s very warm now in Atlanta and I need to trim the hedges … but I ain’t crazy. Is there a product or home remedy I can make to kill & repell these threats ?
