Hello all
We have had the pleasure of a Bluetit nesting in our camera box this year (first time in five years!), however the box was invaded by a queen Bumble Bee. Big scrap between Bee and female Bluetit took place. Queen left, but came back and I haven't seen her since, but have a nasty feeling she may have nested in a corner of the box, as I can occasionally hear faint, intermittent buzzing and have seen at least one worker bee come in who was chased off by the Bluetit. The Bluetit is coming in and roosting every evening regardless. So my question is, can I/should I interfere in some way, or is it down to nature to decide, and what is the likely outcome?
