Thanks for the replies. I will block the holes up tomorrow morning so that the bees that are trapped outside do not take it out on the horse as he will be in the field. Couple more questions sorry 1. Am I right in thinking that bees do not generally sting unless they really have to? 2. Any...

Right, I think I have uploaded some photos into the albums section, imaginatively titled stable bees.
