Bees nest in garden
Just found a bees nest in holly bush in garden. I know bees are good for the garden plant but I'm not too happy about a nest in the garden, prefer them to be in a beekeeper's hive.
Does anyone know if beekeepers charge to remove the nest?
I imagine that the colony could be useful to a beekeeper.
Help before I get stung!
Thanks

Re: Bees nest in garden
Try calling your local council tomorrow as they may be able to give you the number of a local that can help you out. If not they may charge to remove the nest.

Re: Bees nest in garden
Or look in the Yellow Pages for bee keepers - you may find that one of them has lost a hive full of bees, or would be willing to come and remove yours.......for free!

Re: Bees nest in garden
Most keepers will remove them for free, they then use the workers for the honey.

Re: Bees nest in garden
Local bee keepers don't seem to be interested  , so...told the bees to buzz off and put insecticide around and on the nest
