Bee nest in backyard #401411

Asked May 21, 2017, 1:32 PM EDT

I'm wondering if these bees are aggressive or friendly assuming we stay out of each other's way. They have made a nest in my backyard.

Expert Response

Thanks for your question about bees.  Your assumption is correct.  These are not aggressive bees (and we need all the pollinators we can keep!)  Here's a link to a similar question posed on Ask an Expert a couple of years ago, with bees taking up residence in a birdhouse.

Here's a link to a valuable article about how you can help bees--regardless of the type--in your yard.

Hope these are helpful.  Good luck!
