Paddy Galore! Posted June 3, 2018 Report Share Posted June 3, 2018 Hi gents, we've got bees! they've nested in a bird box tucked away at the back of the garden. I think I might struggle to get any honey out of it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FatFreddysCat Posted June 3, 2018 Report Share Posted June 3, 2018 They look like tree bumblebees to me. You won't be getting any honey from them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walker570 Posted June 3, 2018 Report Share Posted June 3, 2018 (edited) DO NOT disturb them. They are pretty aggressive. Will not cause a problem and will be gone in a couple of weeks or so. Bird boxes are their favorite nesting sites. Also had them in a hole in our yard wall. Check if they have bright orange bums to confirm. Good for the environment, so leave 'em alone. I think they are originally from the Continent. Edited June 3, 2018 by Walker570 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
