They sound like Tree Bees "Bombus Hypnorum" which are relatively new to the UK (2001) and can use nest boxes to nest in. They are usually quite docile but can be aggressive if threatened.

We had some in a nest box on the house wall and they didn't bother us at all, it is probably best to just leave them to be. ( no pun intended)

Thanks for correct I'd. Had only been looking at them from my garden. Interesting that tree bees are fairly new to this country. Cheers jon
