I have a bees nest which is under my shed. There're not a problem, just wondering if a bee keeper may be interested?  They are quite large black with yellow "tails". Honey bees?

If they are under a shed, large with yellow tails then they are more likely to bumble bees and deffinately not honey bees which have a smooth, hairless abdomen and are fairly small.

Can you see what type you have from this lot of bumblers?

Just leave them alone, they will be fine and won't sting you unless you try to attack or move the nest. 

they'll only stay there for one year, although if you are lucky next years brood might also make a nest under your shed!

Thank you. I don't have a problem with these bees. However, they might have a problem flying around my bulk to get to there nest. Thanks again.

I wouldn't worry, so long as your calm and quiet when they fly around you they won't sting you - it's not in heir interest - they die if they do!! 

Think of it as a blessing, apparently crops can increase by 33% when bees are around (so I'm hoping my new bee hive will bring added benefits!!)
