Could be/most likely carpenter bees.
Screens about the only way. If you are sitting still you can buy or make carpenter bee traps. The look like little bird houses, with a specific size hol drilled at angle upward in sides. In the bottom another hole which allows them to fall into or descend into a pint jar affixed to the bottom with a hole in the lid. Simply unscrew to empty. we caught a great number in traps here this spring.
Still the screens would be the best way. I know mfg says not to block airflow but the screens I saw recently ahd good silicone type rubber gasket to go against coach and pretty large openings in sturdy stainless grid.
