Yeah, how do I get them to stay still for photographs!! I tried asking nicely but it didn't seem to work! I'll try and get a better one tomorrow!

I would love to save them but I am unsure as to how to move the nest, as it is in the middle of of the rubble/soil. I have seen lots of them coming and going from holes in the pile, I guess they have built the nest within! Also, wouldn't attempting to move the nest count as provoking them?

Hi All, I have recently had some bees move into a pile of rubble/earth at the bottom of my garden! I was wondering if anyone could identify them and maybe give me some advice about how I can deal with them since I need to get rid of the pile of rubble (leftovers from a building project!)...
