I have a recently built extension and have seen bees getting between the
sarking membrane and the Marley concrete roof tiles. I am concerned they
may find their way through an overlap and get into the void.

The main house has a black plastic comb like strip to prevent insect
access.

I am wondering if I should try sliding the bottom row of tiles up and
fitting some. Should the tiles normally just slide up? What is the strip
called? Any alternatives without disturbing the tiles - or are they easy to
move without damage?

How do you know they're bees and not wasps? If they are bees, it could
be a swarm recently arrived and setting up a new colony. They won't
actually do any harm, but many people are nervous of them and imagine
they naturally aggressive and go around stinging people just for the
hell of it. If they're wasps, they'll be gone by late October.

We've got a couple of Bee's nests here at the moment, one honey and one
bumblebee and they keep themselves to themselves and so do we and no
problems at all.

There're out there pollinating which we really need now..
