Like a nest? Yah, could be. This weekend was the first time this season I've seen bees buzzing around my house. Call an exterminator.

Yeah I think we have a nest in our roof....my boss called a beekeeper and someone is coming to take the bees away....no one will kill the bees cause they are honey bees.

Once they find a place, they like to chew through things to make it larger and/or explore. Most building materials like drywall are toxic or dehydrate them and they fly for a while and then die. They also die shortly after using their stinger.

We are keeping all of our lights off and turning the AC up to keep them from coming in....they arn't really coming in to the office now....only a few have and they already died. But there are still a ton outside the office.
