is this beehive in loft/attic?
We are living in my property for 10years & never had this issue before. Last couple of weeks, we noticed bees flying around the house(mostly close to windows).
I just googled to find the reason & found that there could be a beehive in loft.
When i opened the loft door, there was nothing which is quite unexpected. I was expecting bunch of bees flying around. After 5mins of inspecting all the corners in the loft, i have noticed one bee, then two bees after few seconds. Then, in few mins, i could see around 10 bees fling around. So, i sprayed 'Wasp killer' & killed all of them.
I noticed this one in the loft which looks like a beehive like structure, but no bees in that(as far as i have noticed). is this a beehive or something else?

Attic conversion advice
Comments (4)Hi! Judging by the photograph you have a modern trussed-rafter roof structure. This means that if you want to convert the loft you will have to completely remove and replace the existing roof along with all the roof structure to create the useable space that you need. It is possible to do this but it may or may not be worth the cost of doing this. Hope this helps. I have a free checklist with support emails to help with getting your project off to a good start and making the right decisions for you. You can get a copy from my website: www.i-architect.co.uk...See MoreAttic space how to use.
Comments (12)How many bedrooms do you have and what's the layout? If you can get stairs in, then you could go for a usable loft room, not a full conversion. We have an attic with restricted head height. We never did bother with lifting the roof higher. We just stuck veluxes in and then boarded it out and plastered. Very simple. As you see, we only boarded the roof and plastered that, putting storage cupboards all the way underneath the purlins....See Moreattic sitting rooms
Comments (7)I am currently designing an attic suite - bed, bath and sitting room. Should be finished by August - will share the finished photos. Has 2 x large dormer windows and high vaulted ceiling with feature lights, tall window on the end wall, bare brick chimney breast, wooden floors, all white with pale furniture, free standing bath in the middle of the sitting room space with screen and tiles area surrounding the bath...........hope that gives you an idea of how it will look and some things to think about....See MoreMy attic needs help!!!!
Comments (20)The good thing is that, despite the dust and debris in the attic, it's something I could envisage cleaning up, hoovering and replacing the insulation on me own. So all I would need are the raw material and some weekends off. Plus, my daughter and I suffer from all sorts of allergies, such as pollen/hayfever and eczema. So thought this natural wool may be ideal, plus it's said to absorb moisture, helping in keeping the attic dry. Which is already under attack from mould. The two negatives it has are wrt costs and its thermal R rate. If I can fit it myself, could help lower these costs and wrt to its lower insulating property, with global warming etc, maybe we might not need that high level of insulation? Except in 2012 (beast from the east), the last 15-20 winters in Birmingham have been pretty mild. That's my theory at least Thanks Mel...See More
