Bees in loft. Baby at home

[failingmammalian]

Anyone have any bright ideas as to how to tackle this?
Builders discovered what we thought were wasps in the loft. Council came and said they are bees and as bees are endangered they can't do anything. Fair enough of course but I have a toddler I don't want to get stung and the noise of the bees is unbearable ! It's like white noise in the loft bedroom
What to do?

You could contact a local beekeeper (google), they can come to relocate the bees.

We have them too. Bee keepers will only relocate them if they are honey bees (ours look like bumble bees).
From what I have read, they will leave at the end of the summer anyway and not return or do damage. Don't really have much of a choice!

To be fair, they haven't bothered us once (2 dcs, 1 baby and 2 dogs). They've been there for about 8 weeks.

They will definitely relocate honey bees IF the hive is easy to see/access. It gets harder if it isn't.

Bumble bees some beekeepers will relocate, but really only if there is a problem. The beekeeper who came and looked at ours (because we were having a loft conversion) said that bumble bees are much too lazy to sting anyone, and basically they are really very peaceful, so you shouldn't have to worry too much about getting stung.

Good luck!

Thanks. Wonder if there's a beekeeper in east london .....

Bbka.org.uk are amazingly efficient at finding local bee keepers it appears! Thanks all
