Bees Nest

[JonB]

Hi all,

Living in rented accomodation right now, the house is only 2-3 years old.

Got home nice and early today, sat out in the garden in the glorious sunshine when I notice a bee, thought nothing of it and then I saw another one. I then look up and there are about 20-30 bees gathered around my house only.

I can't get much of an idea where they are coming from, but there appears to be a hole up by the fascia boards which seems to be the most likely.

I've rang my landlord and he hasn't had to deal with something like this before, so is going to get back to me at the end of the day, but what else can I do? I know the council sort these issues out at a price, but I guess it is down to landlord to sort it?!

I don't really want to be responsible for destroying a honeybee nest and to be honest I haven't seen any in the house (though I haven't been at the attic since I moved in) but I know my wife is going to be a shivering wreck when I inform her later!!!

Jon.

Definitely up to him to get rid. Did you let the house through an agency? Whenever i have a problem i just inform the agency, they sort the problem out then tell the landlord, that way i dont get the landlord digging his heels in over sorting stuff.

Enough room in your garden for a hive? Encourage them to live in it.

Landlord has just rang, has left messages with a couple of local beekeepers, but will make sure it is resolved within 24 hours. Fantastic.

Odd behaviour being exhibited by the bees, they are literally just "bouncing" off the walls of the house. It's quite fascinating really, i've just been outside watching them, but still can't find an obvious entry and exit "hole".

Hi

We had a wasps nest in the house a few years back. They were no problem and we just waited until the end of summer to get someone in to get rid of them.

The council will come out but will charge. They were quite apologetic and kept saying we should just get rid of it ourselves. Didn't fancy that with something about 3 foot across though.

All the best

You need home serve pest cover, its like boiler cover but they will come out and remove the nest

Just take it out a few weeks before calling them out.

Had a wasp nest here last summer which was a bugger as the lil fookers kept flying through my open window and getting into my room, stinging me when I was on the PC.

On the advice of a mate, got this wasp nest killer stuff and climbed up the ladder - wearing only my shorts and crash lid LOL - and fired it into the hole below the guttering to get rid of the little bastards.

Haven't been responsible for such an act of social murder since getting drunk in 07, whacking my nuts out on the pool table in the local pub and yelling "Cue: Laughter".

Worked a treat though.

I like wasps, at this time of the year they will not sting and even if they do it is just a bit itchy. Leave my waspy mates alone.

Probably best to just let them bee then!

Maybe worth the landlord sorting the pointing out in the summer when theyve buzzed off.
