I just came over to my soon-to-be retirement house (in deepest rural France) and discovered that some bees, bless 'em, had made their nest between the window and the shutter of our spare bedroom... (on ground floor).

If it was just me, I'd have left them to hum away the summer, but MLW is, ostensibly, allergic to bee stings.

Have overcome first problem... got the shutter open with mimimum damage to bees (~12 dead).

Have opened shutter, which resulted in the nest splitting in two... Bees didn't seem too bothered about this...

I thought they'd fly the coop... but no.

The bees remain...

What do I do now???
