Bumble bees in wrong place

Question

Hi all
We have masses of bees (some type of bumble bee) flying about in the garden and I have discovered it's because they have decided to nest in the lining of our yurt. Whilst a nature lover I don't actually want them there the lining is woolly and I imagine ideal nesting material.

I need to encourage them to leave but don't want to get stung and I'd rather not kill them unless no other way to get them out. Can anyone suggest who one calls for bees that are a problem but not a swarm of honey bees

Call a bee removal service:
This is a website of a list of all the apiculturers in Belgium (listed by province plus Brussels) who will come and take your swarm away:

Honey bee or not they should be able to point you in the right direction if they only take honey bees and yours aren't

Check out your local fire brigade.
It used to be standard that they dealt with wasps though I know that some no longer do so. Even so they might be able to help.

Thanks every one for the input and Hi Kaissestamper but no the firemen won't do anything about bees as they are protected. Wasps is a different story
I have now been told by someone at the kids school that she had a nest in one of her bedrooms and the bee person wouldn't move that either! She has now give us the number for this local person to contact. We have now found an article on the BBC http://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-27701591 this suggest they are some type of invades bumble bee that hopefully nest then vacate soon after but there they are talking about bird boxes and this structure is considerably larger

Elliemalan how should I know I'm not a bee keeper. Maybe you should go and read up about their life cycle if you're writing about bees do your own research and these aren't honey bees!
Also why are you using this thread for free advertisement of an illegal service? Getting other people to write essays means that you can get your grades disqualified I'm dyslexic I have a degree I wrote a ton of essays during my degree I had a tutor to assist me with grammar and punctuation but I wrote every word myself, universities are getting very sophisticated software to catch cheats and that sounds to me like what you are offering.
