Default Bees in Loft

Hi all

Just wondering whether bees cause damage in a loft space.

Noticed a week of so back that there were a number hovering around the
corner of the eaves. Now there is a regular flight path developing.
My instinct is to leave alone, but I don't want to do this if there is a
likelihood of damage to the loft space.

Access to the loft is tight, so going up there and removing the bees
would not be an option.

Any thoughts/recommendations please?

Thanks

Phil

If they are Honey bees then the answer is no, my house has had a colony
since the 1890's the only issue is painting as you have to do it in
winter when they are dormant or they get cross!

Great fruit crops and of course they are way above everyones heads so no
problems with their flight paths
