I looks like I've got a bee's nest in the attic as I've spotted a few bees coming and going from a small hole in the apex on the gable end.  To be honest it hasn't bothered me, but this afternoon there were lots of them flying around the hole.... 

I havn't been up in the attic yet (too chicken!  ) and I rarely go up there anyway so I'm not sure if I should be bothered about my bees or not..... 

What do you lot think?    Thanks in advance!

Bee careful

Get in touch,with a local bee keeper,they will normal take them away for FREE, or tell you who to contact.
A

or in extreme measures burn the house down gets rid of the bees'

bee nice to them bee's they in decline due to chemical sprays.

Borrow a pair from Doctor Lord Opti, and have free honey

[Gaffers]

As already mentionned find your local beekeeping club as they will often come and move them for free although if the Queen is in the cavity it might be difficult.

The council might just come qnd spray them so ask what them what they will do first before letting them loose of your furry friends

I think ive got a bees nest in my shed......did some research online and contacting a local bee keeper seems the way to go, if they are honey bees (there are non producing honey bees about as well).....however if they are not interfering too much, it might be worth leaving them there as i discovered they only use the nest once....so next year they'll be gone

That was my line of thinking to be honest!    We did have a Wasp's nest up there once and only found out after they were long gone! 

I got one hell of a shock when I saw this!! 



I'll have to man up and have a look at the bee's construction.

As Taxi Driver said, if they arn,t giving you any bother just leave them bee. . Had a wasps nest in gable end
last year, left ,em to it and they disappeared a few weeks later.

We had bees 'nesting' in an old bird box the other year. I phoned a local apiary R US and she said that if they aren't bothering you, just leave them bee! We did.

Bees are in steep decline the last thing to do is to destroy them. If on the other hand you were talking wasps "nuke the b*ggers" as said try to get in touch with local bee keepers to see if they can help.

[Lagondanet]

Let them bee!

They're definitely bees, so I've no intention of destroying them or letting anyone else harm them!

wasn't that a bee-tals song

If they are honey bee's as opposed to bumbles then an apiarist will take them but if they are in the cavity then probably not. And you aren't allowed to kill them whether they are bumbles or honey bee's, so if they aint pestering you leave alone
