New Bee
Hi Gentleman,
Apologies for asking for advice on a recurring topic but I have scrolled through past postings and just have a few questions about what I have read. Following my neighbour saying that her dog was being bothered by several bees whilst outside upon investigation I have found a hole hidden behind a bush that was not sealed with mortar when I had cavity wall insulation put in last year and have now seen a few honey bees entering and leaving . There does not seem to be massive numbers so I am unsure what to do. Is it likely to be one or two bees investigating a new home or are they likely to have swarmed there unnoticed? I obviously would like to nip any potential problem in the bud but the cavity wall scenario from past posts looks difficult. Is it early enough in the year to somehow undergo damage limitation to the problem. The hole wasn't there before last year so I would think it's recent activity. Any advice would be gratefully received. Many thanks.
