Bees: Understanding the Buzz
Bees are crucial pollinators, but when they nest in chimneys, lofts, wall cavities or garden sheds, they can create stress, especially if someone in the household is allergic or uneasy around flying insects. The most common types found near homes in the UK include:
- Honeybees – often form swarms or nests in enclosed spaces like chimneys or cavity walls.
- Bumblebees – typically nest in compost heaps, under sheds, or within insulation.
- Masonry bees – solitary bees that burrow into soft mortar or brickwork.
While bees aren’t generally aggressive, they can become defensive if they feel their nest is threatened, making proper identification and management essential.
Signs of a Bee Build-Up
Think you might have a bee issue at home? Look out for these tell-tale signs:
- Frequent Activity: Large numbers of bees entering or exiting a single location (e.g., roof tiles, wall cavities, chimneys).
- Buzzing Sounds: A persistent humming noise coming from lofts, walls, or ceilings.
- Visible Nest or Swarm: Clusters of bees gathering in a ball-like formation or visible nesting structures.
- Increased Garden Activity: Bees swarming around specific parts of your garden or property.
The Risks of a Bee Nest at Home
Bees don’t mean any harm, but in the wrong place, they can cause real concern:
- Stings: Especially dangerous for anyone with allergies, and distressing for children and pets.
- Structural Issues: Long-term nesting in wall cavities or roofs can lead to staining or damage.
- Access into the Home: Bees may accidentally find their way indoors, increasing the risk of stings.
- Swarming Behaviour: Swarms can be alarming and often require safe, professional relocation.

Prevention Tips: Keeping Bees at Bay
Although bees often choose their nesting spots without warning, there are a few things you can do to reduce the chances of them moving in:
- Seal Gaps: Repair cracks or holes in brickwork, tiles, or soffits—especially in spring.
- Install Chimney Cowls: Fit mesh or caps to prevent access without restricting ventilation.
- Regular Property Maintenance: Keep sheds, outbuildings, and roof spaces in good repair.
- Clean Up Early Nesting Material: Old or abandoned nests can sometimes attract new colonies.
- Plant with Care: Avoid clustering flowering plants too close to entry points of the house.
