Hoping for an ID for these bees (or maybe wasps?) I couldn't see any sting so I am wondering if this is a native stingless bee? Found at a relatives property who wants to get rid of the hive/nest, but I asked them to wait for an ID in case they are a native stingless bee.

It is much too big for a stingless bee. As far as I can see it has folded its wings longitudinally that is something bees can't do, so it is a wasp.
