skycat 6,173 Posted June 5, 2011 Report Share Posted June 5, 2011 That is a swarm of bees. Not a wasp nest. They'll move on in a bit to try and find somewhere suitable to set up home: or you can call a bee man or pest controller to catch them up and install them in a hive somewhere. Quote Link to post

ratattack 111 Posted June 5, 2011 Report Share Posted June 5, 2011 Leave em alone, they will be gone in 48 hours. Quote Link to post
john b 38 Posted June 5, 2011 Report Share Posted June 5, 2011 This is a way to get in touch with your local beekeepers association who will coordinate the removal of swarms. http://www.bbka.org.uk/help/find_a_swarm_coordinator.php Quote Link to post

John Keswick 119 Posted June 5, 2011 Report Share Posted June 5, 2011 Leave em alone, they will be gone in 48 hours. Better to collect them rather than let them get somewhere where they are not wanted and have to be destroyed. There is a beeswarm collectors list here too: Honey bee swarm collectors list Bees are facinating things, highly complex behaviour and addictive. Quote Link to post
