Bumble Bees! Anyone know how I can get them to go and live somewhere else?

I seem to have bumble bees living under my garden shed. I don't want to kill them, just make them want to move on. I can't block the entrance to their house cause its right under the shed and i can't get to it. Any ideas and suggestions would be most welcome. No point grabbers please!

Gosh I would just let them be...if they are true bumble bees (the fuzzy kind) they are harmless and will pollinate for you like crazy. I often pet them as they are gathering nectar from my flowers! But if there are kids in the yard, you might want to put some wire fencing material around the hole to avoid any incidents.

Reply:Give your neighbors a flat of Red Monarda (bee balm) and offer to plant it for them...then you can watch those bees traipse on over to the prize bouquet next door!!
Reply:i am sorry but i used Dawn dishwashing liquid(diluted).It will kill them though.Excellent flea control!Kills on contact.
Reply:they might be carpenter bees, and if they are, they are damaging the wood in your shed. Call a beekeeper or exterminator, they will know what kind of bees they are and how to get 'em to move.
Reply:there is probably a spray or substances that can kill or may them uncomfortable.
