Bumble bees in your birdhouse? Or: do you need to relocate a bumble bee nest?
Are bees in a birdhouse a problem? It depends. A bumble bee colony only lasts for one season; if you find one on your property, giving the nest space and leaving the bees to finish their life cycle is the best choice whenever possible. If the nest is not in a busy area, it can usually be safely ignored. If it’s located where excited pets or running children might get too close and risk being stung, you might be able to install a barrier to direct people away from the nest.
