Thousands of bees on allotment

it before and has no idea what to do. Have been referred to pest control but no reply from them as yet. As we are not 100% sure what type of bee they are we are scared that we are going to be stung or a swarm will form. Advice will be gratefully received by Bath Bun

raspberry help

control them.any advice would be great thanks. Sounds like raspberry sawfly. The only control I know is to spray with an insecticide just before the flowers open. Look for one which mentions the more common gooseberry sawfly in the list of pests it deals by matmats123
