Bird Box Bumble Bee call out

[Robbie & Jans Bees]

Hi I got bees coming in and out of my Bird box! Ok what colour are they! GOD SAVE OUR NATIVE BUMBLES!!!

I was asked to come and take a look at a bird box full of bees a month ago, I too thought they would be bumbles but was plesently surprised firstly to see the size of the bird box about 12x12x18 inch, secondly to find that they were honey bees once the swarm had been rehomed they managed to cover 3 national frames!

Have had 9 calls about bees 4 of which were bumbles going in and out of nesting boxes, 2 of bumbles going into the breeze block of houses and 1 miner bee and 2 actual swarms.... I am starting to doubt the people are SUPPOSED to check in the website before contacting a swarm catcher

I've just had two birdbox calls in the last 10 minutes.

Took a call yesterday from a lady who was complaining that next door had a bumble bee nest in a bird box. This lady didn't like the idea of the bumbles nesting so close to her own garden as she was worried about her young son being stung. She had approached the neighbour and asked if they would remove the nest but the neighbour wanted to keep the nest and encourage the bees to thrive. Anyway, I gave the standard advice about leaving alone etc, etc, but she was still not happy.The conversation ended when she advised me that she would now be spraying fly spray on any bumble that landed in her garden as she ' could not afford to take the risk of her son being stung'. A true and very sad tale I am sorry to say.

it seems hard to belive that people dont know the diff between bees? does it have a big fat yellow or orange bum
