I have found a bee’s nest in my compost heap. Should I be concerned?


If they are large furry insects then it is likely they are Bumble Bees. They are a very docile creature and will not go out of their way to attack you. They are also protected by law and should not be disturbed; they very rarely sting unless they are provoked. You may have course have a wasp’s nest. If you see a steady stream of insects much smaller than a bee entering the nest then do not disturb as they may attack you. Contact us if this is the case and we will be more than willing to visit and destroy the nest.
