Carolski Posted May 29, 2005 Share Posted May 29, 2005 We are experiencing a strange phenominum......from our cooker extraction hood (connected to an old chimney), bees seem to be appearing, albiet very dopey ones. We have been feasting on bee curry, cassoulet, deep fried bee...you name it, even 'bee en croute'!!!! Seriously, it's becoming a problem, they are now appearing in our bedroom in the same condition. Any advice please..buzzing off (tee hee) Carole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat Posted May 30, 2005 Share Posted May 30, 2005 Carole, I think it's likely that a swarm of bees have decided to set up home in your loft or chimney, especially if they have been there for more than 3 days.It is now the time of year that bees start swarming, searching for a new home for the summer. A few days ago some friends in my village had a huge swarm of several thousand bees descend on a tree in their garden. The bees stayed there for a day, and then departed, looking for somewhere more favourable.They (the bees that is) are now living in the loft of the (empty) house next to mine.It is not uncommon for bees to settle in loft or attic spaces, as they are warm and undisturbed there. If they are becoming a nuisance you could phone the sapeurs pompiers, as they will have a list of local bee-keepers who may be able to remove the bees for you. But be warned, here in the Lot this is no longer a free service, and can cost upwards of 100 euros! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
