    Bees are living inside my walls, do I need to worry?

    You haven't offended. I was merely surprised I had given the impression that I was going to do anything without proper advice and help. That is why I am here asking proper bee people first. I had already been to the local swarm coordinator and they were not interested in such an inaccessible...

    Bees are living inside my walls, do I need to worry?

    I will be doing nothing without experienced beekeeper help. The bees are currently very happy where they are. I'm not quite sure where I gave the idea that I intend to do anything either silly or unprotected. Please rest assured I have no intention of upsetting them. I'm terrified of bees and...

    Bees are living inside my walls, do I need to worry?

    Just sleepy, occasional buzzy fanning noises now, but it's night time. I wonder if there is a recording probe. If I didn't live here, I would feel more scientific about it and want to open it up like the Oxford natural history museum on their staircase. ...but I do, so I won't.

    Bees are living inside my walls, do I need to worry?

    This one was a long tone that changed its pitch. The others I heard before were short bursts. I shall listen again.

    Bees are living inside my walls, do I need to worry?

    I've been listening at the wall this evening and mostly it is just a fanning engine noise with the odd buzz. There is one very strident buzz though. Would there be any likelihood of that being the queen, or do they all chat to each other in hives? We have a vague plan forming from all your...

    Bees are living inside my walls, do I need to worry?

    Thank you I shall remember that if it happens again. The bees look as if they have calmed down now. There are not so many around the edge of the crack but they are still very busily in and out. Maybe it was because of the swarm, I presume swarming upsets the ones left behind for a bit. Does...

    Bees are living inside my walls, do I need to worry?

    We had wasps last year and when looking for those, I had seen flying activity in the direction we have now found these bees. I hadn't realised then. The baby bee things came suddenly, lasted about two or three days and were all indoors, they arrived at the rate of about 50-100 per hour at...

    Bees are living inside my walls, do I need to worry?

    A good long term plan is what I am after. I have no idea what all those things are, but I shall look them up. Will attaching a cone or tube annoy the bees in any way? Apart from whilst doing it. I was watching them this morning and there are a few that enter with pollen on their legs. There...

    Bees are living inside my walls, do I need to worry?

    We live in a really old building, hence the enormous cracks, so we can do any work ourselves, but the bees would stop us doing that easily if they are buzzing around. We would be very reluctant to kill them and would only do that as a vey last resort if there was any direct threat to our own...

    Bees are living inside my walls, do I need to worry?

    Firstly I shall say hello, and secondly apologise in advance for invading your forum as a new member just for my own question. However, I shall start at the beginning and see what you think. At the weekend we were in the garden and there was what sounded like a low flying aircraft above us, a...
