No idea what kind of bees they are..lol"
Bumble bees are black, round, and buzz very deeply. Honey bees are small, yellow striped, and buzz lightly. Make sure they aren't wasps though, as they are more likely to be nesting at the mo. And you really don't want them around. |

"Deffo not wasps......wouldn't say they had a loud buzz but there seems to be some big buggers amongst them
I daren't open my back door for fear of them coming in the house"
Call the council. Sounds like you have a swarm. |

Just check that they're not those Africanised killer bees.... Other than that, you'll find that they're generally harmless. If they bother you, I'm sure that there are people who can move them, but generally I think that they'll move themselves in the winter anyway. |

"thank you
They still flying about the pipe but hubby has now blocked it up.....now where are they going to go"
No, you can't trap them inside and kill them, bees are too valuable!!! Besides, if they are honey bees and have made honey you need to remove their hive professionally otherwise they will just keep coming back, the smell will draw bees. |

Don't call the council if they are honey bees x
There is a website which lists bee keepers in your area and advice on recognising honey bees , I was amazed how many bee keepers there were to me .They are most helpful and will come and collect a swarm x

"I don't know if we have a swarm or not
They just hanging about the now blocked hole
Thers about a dozen of them now
A few big ones and lots of little ones"
Phone a local beekeeper, I'm sure someone would be happy to advise or pop round for a look. A dozen sounds more like bumbles. If they were swarming honey bees you'd know about it - there would be thousands and quite aggressive! |

I have a honeysuckle in my garden and the little blighters trounce it every year ..I never see the flowers! Apparently it is a good thing to let them do that so being a good citizen I leave them 'bee' hehe 
It does piss me off never seeing the honeysuckle flower tho! |

They always bloody do! |

Ok, bumble bees are solitary for the most part and never swarm...
Mason bees and the like are also solo by nature...
Wasps would be an issue and should be delt with by a professional body...
Hornets are not aggressive, in fact they are less an issue than wasps as long as you are not interrupting their flight path to and from the nest, if they head bump you then you are in the way
Now honey bees are swarming at the moment and rogue queens will take flight from a hive taking half the hive with them, which I suspect is what you have.
Look up your local bee keeping association and ask them if someone who is experienced can come and remove the swarm, they may place a bait hive near the swarm to give them the chance to recollonate.
Do not try to to touch them yourself as a swarm can be quite aggressive.
Good luck |

"Your local police may have the contact number for a local bee keeper.
Fuzz for the buzz? It seems a little extreme.
"
Just one of those strange things they have to know - vet/abbotior on call for casualty horses/cows/donkeys is a favourite one in the New Forset. |
