bees nest
6 Answers
i have a bees nest in my flower bed, not sure what type they are. I dont want to cause them any harm but am concerned with them maybe stinging children or guests during summer. Will they stay permanently or discard the nest at the end of the season. They are in and out all day and if i tend the bed they seem to fly near to me. Any advice please. Val
