Bumble Bees
Bumble Bees are not pests so if you happen to find a nest in your garden consider yourself lucky, rather than call out a Pest Control Company who will not destroy the nest, but may give you a bill for the call-out charge.
Bumble Bees make their nests in the garden under shrubs, in long grass etc. They are non-aggressive and will not bother you if you don't bother them. In the unlikely that you do disturb them, it's likely they will be more frightened of you, than you need to be of them! So if Bumble Bees frighten you just stay away from them, but remember reputable pest controllers will never knowingly destroy a Bumble Bee nest.
Honey Bees
Without Honey Bees we would quickly see a massive change in our lifestyles! Fruit and Flowers would likely be the first and hardest hit. Food production would be decimated and prices would soar, but how long before there was nothing left?
Please don't kill Bees, no matter what the species let the Professionals handle this one, or advise you accordingly. So if you are lucky or unlucky enough (dependent on your situation) to have a Swarm of Bees somewhere nearby, your first reaction is one probably one of panic, but don't. Contact a Beekeeper from within the Site quickly and they will try to arrange collection. It will depend of course where the Bees are, whether the Swarm is accessible and so on.
Bees like a draft free home like the rest of us, so don't wait for them to settle in the dis-used chimney stack for example, call out a Professional Beekeepers Registered Member and who knows they may even offer you a pot of honey in return.
Under no circumstances should you attempt to deal with a Bee Swarm yourself, unless you are confident and competent in what you are about to deal with, because the wrong course of action could cost human life, apart from destroying the Bee Swarm!
To a member of the public a Swarm of Bees that suddenly appears in the High Street, the garden, your chimney breast, hanging from a branch of a tree (they really will settle anywhere, following their Queen) can be a particularly daunting experience.
Without doubt Bees are to some people, very interesting subjects of discussion. I am of course talking about the Honey Bee, as opposed to the Bumble Bee. For example, suppose I spot a Honey Bee in my garden collecting from my flowers, and just suppose I was able to follow that Bee home to the hive in your garden, the question is would I be able to claim that the honey, or claim that part of the honey produced was mine? It seems there may well have been a Law (could still be the case) that says I actually would have a claim to some of the honey from the hive in your garden!
Anyway, most of us will never get involved with Bees (other than mistakenly thinking they are Wasps) until they suddenly arrive in a swarm during the months of June and July as they settle in your blocked off chimney, or hang from a tree in the garden.
Often a 'lead group' of say a couple hundred Bees will search for a place to live, somewhere not too drafty (hence the blocked off chimney). Once settled in it can be difficult to remove them because they must not be destroyed. If it happens that the Bee Swarm has settled somewhere accessible then the local Beekeeper will be only to glad to take them away, and he might even pay you a few pounds for them!
Masonry Bees
Mason, or Masonry Bee's also known as Mortar Bee's are solitary types that do not nest in a colony, but rather in individual holes in the ground, occasionally in walls in the joints of Mortar, bricks and similar.
Masonry Bees are happy in sunny, south facing elevations promoting better germination of their eggs. Their nests are established in spring and/or summer with up to a dozen eggs laid in each cell which is packed with pollen, nectar and suitably sealed, usually with mud.
The new Masonry Bee adults emerge the following year to repeat the cycle, look a little bit like Honey Bees which is why they often frighten the public who think it's going to be a swarm. The female of the species does have a sting, but won't normally use it unless you squeeze it between your fingers for example, now when did you ever want to do that?
