Is a bees nest dangerous?

Bees don't cause any problems to your property, and nor are you in danger of being stung if they are left alone and unprovoked. Some traits of tree bees can be a cause of concern, but generally there is nothing to worry about. Solitary, or masonry bees, as the name suggests, are rarely found in large numbers.

Should I leave a bees nest alone?

First, only female bees sting. Solitary bees nest in the ground or in cavities such as walls; they are tiny, harmless and best left alone. Although bumbles sting and can do so repeatedly, you really have to provoke them. Disturbing a bumble nest does get them riled, so if they aren't bothering you, leave them alone.
