Put some ant powder anywhere you think they're getting in, they won't go near it as its toxic to them, anything that kills ants will do the same to wasps and bees. |

Are they bees ?
Don't spray anything at all. Don't try to harm them.
They don't use the same place twice so if you just leave them they will go at the end of the season.
If it is just one bee then let it out.
Are they in the eaves or the loft space?
They won't be coming down any time soon to watch t.v. with you.
Go take a pic of the bee and then find out what type it is.
DO NOT HARM BEES. |

You can deter bees from approaching an area with smoke, mothballs, and bitter almond oil, and deter them from building hives by blocking off holes and nearby water sources.
DON'T HARM BEES. WASP, YOU CAN KILL THOSE FUCKERS. |

Ok thanks for the replies
Tried the council lsat with no luck
Yes they are bee for definate
Tried ant killer last time that really upsets them you should have hezrd the noise from them.
They have been back a few time in the past.
Moth balls almond oil is a new one to me so may try that.
I have ordered a metal mesh to put over the air brick they came in last time this morning on ebay.
Been told if they cannot get in one way they will find another etc !
Thanks for the replies

Are they Bumble Bees?
If so, they're protected and there's nothing you can legally do to remove them. The hive usually dies off in the Autumn.
If they're Honey Bees a Bee Keeper or the local council can remove them.
Honey Bees are the most likely to sting you should you get too close to the nest.
Bumble Bees are the big furry ovoid ones and are hardly likely to sting you.
