    Hi all

    At the Weekend I was standing in our conservatory , and heard bees looked up And its seems just above the conservatory under the gutters , some bees seem to have made a home for themselves, .

    What can i do? as much as i dont mind them . Im concerned about the Size of the nest ( havnt got up on a ladder yet) but the Seems to be a lot of activity going on..

    Is there a Way of getting Rid of them.? a product or ? I dont want them getting into my attic So.

    thanks

    Look up someone in the golden pages, can be dodgey dealing with this sort of thing yourself.

    I'd leave it alone, they'll all be dead now soon. When they die put the hive in the bin. :)

    I had yellow and black insects under my gutter before - they were wasps not bees.

    Had a similar problem a couple of years ago. You will have to get the professionals out. Way to risky to do it yourself particularly at this time of the year while they are dying off. Apparently they can turn on you (or worse still, your neighbours!)
