Bees in roof?

joe2cool

Hi after recently cleaned my roof gutters, I noticed about 6 or 7 bees flying around the end & going inside. I think they are bumble bees not quite sure but they didn't sting & some of them looked quite large.

Could please advise me how best to deal with the situation, what damage will be caused if left too long?

Thx

Seems there is a swarm of bee posts doing the rounds at the moment.

Thanks for that my neighbours were panicking about what looked like a lot of bumble bees outside a bedroom yesterday. It seems that they just have to leave them and they'll go away eventually. (I have blocked up any available holes on my property though! )

OK there does seem to be quite few around at the moment

When I had the exterminator round to take care of a wasp nest I mentioned some very persistent bumble bees that came and went from under our garden shed, he said if they were keeping out the way and not a huge number that we didnt have to worry. He said said it was very rare for a bumble bee nest to get out of hand and if we didnt bother them, they wouldnt bother us. Unlike the wasps who died a death that day
