    yes, move the next and they will follow, but if they come back from hunting and the nest is gone, they die.

      Many bumblebees in house

      I have found about 15-20 bumble bees in my house, some living some dead. How do I find the nest? I suspect they are coming from the basement.

        Humble Bumbles

        What You do is get really close to them with a stick and tickle em. They'll laugh so hard their wings will buzz off, and then you'll have just a bunch of buzzing walking beetles. They'll then just walk away. It ego friendly and safe for the kids as no pesticides are used.
        As for the Wasps we had some of those, of and some other people wantes to comment so amicably about they also had some of those. They are like the Griswalds pesky inlaws and won't just go away. If You use the bottle trap method or use a few shoe boxes ,You could set up a saloon for them. And Yes I believe they like Barqs root beer to A and W, but some just like the good stuff, good ol fashioned Hooch. Break open a cold one and they'll hang out with You, and even though theyre Your pesky neighbors, since You shared a beer with them, they probably won't break into your home or bother Your children, but I cant assure the same thing for Your othwr neighbors.

          Google bee keepers. Many times they will come help you get rid of them. It costs a little. I had to do it once, and back then it cost me $15 but he also gave me a quart of honey.

              Find a beekeeper to come get them!

              Please please please don't kill them or harm them in any way. Our bee population is dwindling and they are EXTREMELY important for our ecosystem

              I have a garden made to attract bees. I prefer bumblebees as they're incredibly sweet and almost never sting even when they feel threatened.

                I went through this a few months back. Don't assume there's a few, what we did. Outside light and they were far up into the home but not inside. Turned out it was a good size hive and they were mixed with African. The bee guy took them and we sealed it up. It's a liability so I wouldn't leave them that's for sure.
