The flowerbuds of wisteria are produced during the summer (on last year’s wood), so wait until late spring or early summer to prune the vine. Pruning the previous year's growth too severely will remove the flower buds, but that is rarely the case. Most people do not prune severely enough. Severe pruning is often recommended, back to three or four buds, to keep the plant manageable and renewed.

It will not harm the plant to either remove the pods or leave them on the plant.

It sounds like an issue with gall (kind of like a tumor for plants), most likely crown gall. Here is more information: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/vines/wisteria/wisteria-diseases.htm, https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/plant-problems/disease/how-to-fix-crown-gall.htm

As long as the fence is not in a high traffic area, the bees should'nt be a problem, especially bumble bees, which seem to favor the plant. In fact, bees are extremely important in the pollination of many types of plants, including the vegetables we eat. Getting rid of them would have a profound effect on the ecosystem. That being said, here is an article that may offer some help in controlling bees: http://www.extension.umn.edu/distribution/horticulture/dg3732.html
