Wasps or bees?

Have been round to say they are honey bees and can I call someone to collect them but they don't really want to talk to me.

Sad they might be harming the bees they have little kids (as do I) so can see why they want them done but our gardens are fairly large the kids could just play away from them for now.

If you contact someone they can take the swarm from your side?

Oh that’s horrible. If they leave them alone, the bees will be fine. If they attack them, then that is when someone is going to get stung as the bees will be defending their Queen.

I'd phone someone anyway and slightly ambush them/ see if they can remove the queen from your garden.

They wouldn't be able to reach from our garden unfortunately the fence is really high and they have a huge bramble bush that's in the way.

Going to try and talk to them today and offer to call a bee keeper if the bees are still here!
