A bee suit and a few cans of foaming wasp and hornet killer.
Raised the lid on my old 150 that had been sitting in the barn Friday and was greeted with a similar bunch of the bastards. Got popped twice before I got out. Walked in my honey room, put the suit on and went and lit'em up.
It's kind of unusual to have them nesting that close to my hives without me having seen some sign of them before then.

hopped off a running mower once after running over a wasp nest in the ground.
Mower ran right into dad's tomato patch and cut a swath thru it. He was not happy

Take a couple handfuls of diatomaceous earth and powder that hole real good after dark. The entire nest will be toast in less than 24 hours. Each microscopic grain of DE is like a razor knife to insects so 2 or 3 handfuls is trillions of razors that slice the exoskeleton and dehydrate the insect. It’s worked incredibly well for me!

Did the same thing a couple years ago. Got some Hornet Killer spray and waited until almost dark when they are almost all in the nest and put most of the can in the hole... a few lingering ones lingered later and landed but there was enough on the ground to get them too. They never came back to that spot. Had the same experience at home also, got into my tool shed and there was a nest of them chasing me out of their clubhouse. The Hornet spray came to the rescue again... that stuff works great and you can spray it from a pretty good distance to stay relatively safe...

These ain’t in a hole in the ground it’s a paper nest on top the ground prime candidate for fire

Back off to where the pattern will be volleyball size or a little more. A double tap may be in order.

If you feel really sporting, you can rush the hornets nest with a tennis racquet and see how many you can swat.

Bit of gasolene, more diesel, rag on a pole, after dark. If there is enough nest left to concentrate them. If not, wait and watch a few days. A target will emerge, burn it.

The guys in the field baled up a nest of bumble bees (probably on purpose, the bastards). The bees took great umbrage at this, but they realized that the perpetrators would be beyond their reach once they disentangled themselves from the hay. Given this, they delayed their counter assault for when the bale in question had taken its ride up the elevator into the barn where it became the responsibility of the poor fool up there attempting to not die of the heat while he was filling his respiratory system with dust and chaff. At this point, the poor fool became aware of something poking at his ankle. A quick inspection revealed that the ankle in question was covered with furry yellow and black bodies. It was at this point that the pain kicked in. A medical conference was held and the conclusion was that the ankle should be soaked in the somewhat cool water of the stock tank. By the end of the day, the ankle had achieved impressive size. A good night's rest resulted in the owner of said ankle being completely unable to stand on that foot. Ah, the memories. (For this, and other reasons too numerous to list, I hated, and continue to hate, baling)
