Firstly, is it really causing an issue ?


If not please take into account of necessity of the humble bee in our environment.


Bees are relatively benign & if you could leave them alive, then all to the good.


Please read the link i've put on here.



Good luck.

Bee man (joe) popped round tonight to have a look at the nest in the garden. Apparently the nest is massive.

He informed me that bee's are Bumble Bee's not honey Bee's that i thought so he couldn't do anything.

Was informed me that they are protected and you cant go around killing them. Pointed me in the direction of Bromley Bee Club. Spoke to a member of the club and have been advised to just leave them alone as they wont cause you any problems unless you disturb the nest. As the nest is in the compost bin they should have a happy summer before they die off at the end of the summer months.

Hi, we had the same situation a couple of years ago, and after much searching on the internet discovered that bumble bees are protected and that we shouldn't disturb the nest.


We really wanted just to move the nest so that we could use the compost bin again, and had no desire to harm the bees in any way. So, we left them be for the summer and used a temporary compost bin. They were no trouble and we (including our little boy) found them fascinating. As mentioned above they vacated or died off at the end of the summer and we reclaimed the bin.


We became quite attached to them, so during that summer we bought a bee house in the hope that they would move or come back, but they never did :-(

    • I was in there recently and never noticed a smell, but I think it's been mentioned on here before. Have you asked the staff about it?
    • The empty shelves is well reported, but the sewage smell has been awful for weeks if not months, and just keeps getting worse. It started off near the Costa machine/ behind the delivery and collections booth thing, but now it hits you the second you walk in the store. I’m amazed nothing (visibly at least) appears to be going on to fix it. Somewhat relieved it’s not just me who can smell it!
    • Andy Burke has done 2 plumbing jobs for us in the last few weeks and we highly recommend him. His number is 7983 688 451.
    • I presume the terrapins originally came to the park as unwanted pets. It seems to be fairly common for people to dump them in park ponds etc when they realise they don't stay the small size they were when they bought them.
