Default summer bee keeping

a few little bees have made their home in a large tubular wooden wind chime. It is hanging in the conservatory on a coat stand and I was waiting to hang it outside on the apple tree during nicer weather. but they have made it home now.

My dilemma is the conservatory can heat upwards of 50 degrees in summer even with blinds, so do I move it now ? will they find it ? or let the bees stay.

I need a bee keeper to answer this I think??
I must say if I had a choice I would let them stay as they are sooooo sweet and absolutely incredibly if I shut the conservatory door they buzz to go out !!! and wait to come in !!! I am amazed. They are better trained than Puppy delight.
I would love one of those old bee hives and keep these type but I don't think they are the hives type, lot smaller. Maybe ill get one and see if they will stay. CB
