Hi,

So I have a hole in the outside wall of my house, through which I can see bees coming and going frequently. I'm pretty sure that they are bumblebees, but some googling seemed to suggest that bumblebees don't drill walls. Also, from looking at some filled-in holes in the walls, the previous owner has had this problem in the past.

With a young child in the house, I'm pretty nervous about having them there. I might be able to grit my teeth until October but how do I stop the bees coming back? It's not like I can move the house.

And how do bees drill holes in walls, anyway?

Thanks,

Jane
