That sounds more like hornets to be.  Bumble bees are very large.............hornets are smaller..........if you are renting I would ask the landlord to take care of them.  If you are the owner you might need a pro come and help you.
We should be having a frost soon and then you can get the nest out when it is very cold.  You could have a prop come or you could close the opening under the steps...............they might not like vinegar full strength around that area or ammonia..................Heinz has a new 6% cleaning vinegar that is 1% stronger than regular vinegar..........
