Bumble Bee Advice Please

[helen21stc]

Hi, just found this website following the discovery that Bumble bees are starting to colonise part of our house - nothing too serious but there's a gap below a ground floor window which now seems to be their front door!
Presumably they've set up home in the wall cavity which we are going to have filled with insulating foam (?) before the start of next winter.
Just wondering if anyone has any advice. Obviously we don't want to harm them but I'm slightly concerned about stings (which I know are very rare) because of our new born baby.
Any advice or reassurance would be welcome.
Thanks,

Helen

The nests are annual nests, so should be overy by winter. The bumblebees should be quite happy just to go in an out of their nest hole if you don't bother tham too much, unless you put the baby's pushchair right next to the hole I would not worry about the bees and the baby.
