I have bees under my garden shed! I thought i’d got rid of them last year by putting powder in the entrance!

They seem to have come back now that the weather is getting warmer. Any ideas how I can get them to move on. I’m not keen on killing them but will look at ALL suggestions. Thanks
i tried to block the hole last year but they are going in, in two different places this year!
