Hi,
We've had a Bees nest in the North eaves for years now and I assume they're honey Bees? This year, in the south eaves we have the second image nesting in quite large numbers?
They're no problem at all and never get into the house unlike the Wasps on the east side which are a massive pain - still live and let live.
Luv from Dave

Hi Dave, the first photo is, as you suspect, of a Honey Bee.

Thanks guys. Later on in the season we generally have a large Bumblebee species nesting in the outbuildings and another smaller bee species in an old nest box so I'll get photos of those for assistance. Thanks again
