    Poly, look for beekeepers in your area, they may come and resite the nest for you. If not they will know what to do for the best.

    Thanks for that blue_monkey how do I find bee keepers though? I thought that bumble bee nests couldn't be moved or is that a misconception?

    My husband moved one the bees all followed.

    I think i just googled beekeepers and the area I live in. They would be best service to give you the advice you need. I called one when there were lots of bees flying around the bush outside out house. The bee man told me they were drones waiting for a passing female and they were harmless.

    Bee keepers will have no interest in Bumble Bees. Only Honey Bees.

    Bumbles are lovely little creatures. Just consider yourself lucky and leave them bee.
