Hi there,
I wondered if you could advise me on a potential honey bee nest in my house.
We have a false ceiling in our bathroom and I suspect we have a colony in the space that they could have accessed via the old extraction fan hole from the loft space. Last year we had a leak in the bathroom that mysteriously stopped. The neighbours said they had seen some bees going in and out of the roof at the same time that this happened. At the end of the summer we had about 30 or so of what I thought (from checking online images) were honey bees appear in the bathtub and around the bathroom, some dead and some still alive but they died soon after. I’ve just been in the bathroom and noticed some buzzing sounds again. My concern is how close the nest could be to us and our daughter, is it dangerous, or could it be a new more sinister intruder this time around? I wondered if there is anyone we could contact that you’d recommend?
We are in the Leigh/Wigan area. Our council website is mainly for pest control and they don’t provide any service for bees. And I’m not sure if a local beekeeper would be of any help as it may involve removing from the inside of our home.
I hope somebody can help as if I can help it, I’d rather not eradicate them.
Kind regards
Craig.
