I have got bees going under my shed all the time. I don't want to harm them but I don't want anybody to get stung when working inthe shed if they upset them. Any ideas how to get them to move?

What sort of bees are they?
If its the bumble bee I wouldn't worry to much in my opinion. I've got them under my shed (under the concrete base) and despite me working in the shed or just outside using power tools they just ignore me. Just fly round me if I'm in the way. As long as you do not provoke them should be ok.
If you don't want them there perhaps contact a bee keeper to have a look and remove them if it's possible?
I used to have masses of Bumble Bees flying in and out of my shed for years and it was right at the back of the house. Never been a problem and when the shed had to be pulled down at the beginning of this year I was pretty sad to think they wouldn't be there this year!

Bees, I really wouldn't worry - rarely aggressive. Had it been wasps though, different story.
Just give them plenty of room, if they are honey bees you may be able to get a bee keeper to remove them, they usually do this free as they then keep the swarm.
