Found a beehive near your home: Here's what you should and shouldn't do
Discovering a beehive can be alarming, but bees are generally not aggressive unless provoked. Experts advise staying calm, observing from a distance, and keeping children and pets away. Crucially, avoid attempting to destroy the hive with fire, smoke, or chemicals. Instead, contact local beekeepers or wildlife rescuers for safe relocation. Appreciating their vital role as pollinators is key, and giving them space to fly is essential for coexistence.
