Surely there's a local beekeeper that could have moved them for you?
I understand your safety concerns but bees are in trouble these days and we should do everything we can to avoid harming them.

Apparently (ie Google told me....) finding someone to shift a bumblebee nest is rather harder than finding someone to take your honeybees

I disagree. Having completed a beekeeping course over the last few years I know that council pest control departments have local beekeepers on their books who will remove bees of all kinds. I remember helping my mentor to move some aggressive tree bumblebees from somebody's chimney.

Oh man - can see the headlines now:
"Retired Canadian Slaughters Beehive - No Survivors"
You saw what happened to that dentist for killing one lion. Imagine the field day they'll have with you - and that was a male lion, not only did you murder a female, but she was pregnant.

On a side note . A fir tree near the front door is smothered in wasps at the mo. Never seen before. Assume after sap.

I like bees. This makes me sad.
