Bees, wasps and hornets usually return to the nest in the evening, to roost for the night.
Can you put a large container, such as a garbage pail over the stump?
If you can, then do this at night, weighing it down with a heavy object, and making sure there are no holes around the bottom (rim) of the pail (pile and pack soil around the base).
If you were even more ingenious, then you could collect the bees in a one-way jar trap. If you are even more ingenious (and very careful), you could then use them, for such things as extracting the venom (for pharmaceutical uses), or for live fly-fishing bait.
Is it normal to be extremely scared of carpenter bees?
