There are a number of different species of bees. Very few bees in the UK are dangerous, however some can cause a nuisance if they nest near doors or windows. While bees aren’t protected, they are endangered. Bees are a essential element of the local ecosystem and so shouldn’t be moved or killed unless it is absolutely essential.
Bees seldom pose a significant threat. However, they can swarm or nest which behaviour can be disruptive, particularly if they nest in a ceiling or wall cavity. The best course of action is normally to simply leave the nest alone, as bees don’t have a long life cycle. At the stage where nests are the most apparent, it is generally because the bees are getting prepared to move on.
If you have a swarm or nest of bees that you need to have moved, it’s best to contact a beekeeper who will be able to come and safely collect the bees. They may take them off to their own site, or be able to move the nest to a nearby area that is less disruptive. The British Beekeepers Association are a charitable organisation that set standards for experienced beekeepers.
