Hi,

We have just found two fluffy bumble bee nests, nesting in the soffits of our property.


I don't want them killed or block their hole up. As bees are important to us.

I have read that if they aren't an inconvenience, to leave them. However one of them is above by my son's bedroom window.

Some of them are huge fluffy ones.


Any ideas as to how unwanted bees nests are dealt with?

The Bumblebee Conservation Trust's website contains information re. bumblebee nests.

or you could phone them for advice. Your bees are probably tree bumblebees, as they are the only species to nest so high up - there is information about them on the website. I hope you decide to leave the nest to die out naturally. Best wishes.

Thanks that made me chuckle Dopamine1979.


Emailed bee jet company they couldn't guarantee it would get rid of them.

They said it may just pacify them.


Think I will have to contact pest control to see if they can remove without harming them.

We've had two big ones fly in and the back door was only open a little while.

Love bees but a scaredy cat when they come to close.

    • Thanks all, our hope was (despite the diminishing estate) he would get on with it.  Progress is glacial, it's been two years since probate was granted, that's two cold and damp winters with no heating, and not surprisingly a pipe burst. He's blames the issues on the estate agent, who separately had a dispute with him, he had a wobbly when one of the beneficiaries spoke to the estate agent.  Separately he said it was the family's fault for letting the property get into a poor condition.  It was dated, but certainly not in poor condition. There are two five star reviews on Google, and five one star: ** WARNING** This solicitor firm has to be one of the worst I have encountered. The solicitor is prehistoric in his practices and will carry out work at his own snails pace, the fax machine he uses gets turned off at 2 pm and its near impossible to get him on the phone. STAY AWAY, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED, check the solicitors ombudsman, this firm has previous bad practice recorded.   Disgusting under no circumstances use this solicitor.For over 10 years he has not carried out the terms of a Will he has not re-invested money but has retained it.  He writes letters which are pure "Flannel" excuses for doing nothing.  You have been warned   shocking experience, delayed the whole process, told other side solicitors to not contact him as he feels pressured etc. never use.   Not fit for 21st century. No website, no email address, no electronic transfer. Very slow, very little communication.   Was not a pleasant experience dealing with this firm    
    • If you mean the one outside the church going towards Peckham, it still had the closed sign on it this morning, but as there are no road works there, I'm sure some of the drivers will stop there on request.  The stop outside the chippy coming from Peckham is closed as there are road works in front of it.  The 4 way traffic lights are in operation.., causing a lot of congestion.
