@Riff- Damage to house minimal. Repaired for $1000 or so.

My response to Brian, in case anyone else is interested: Yes, I’m perfectly aware Africanized bees can make honey too, and, in fact, are sometimes preferred by beekeepers as they are of a hardier strain than their more docile European fellows. Regardless of whether these are European bees or their hyper-defensive African counterparts, my point was that they had taken over this house to the point that THERE IS NO POINT in trying to salvage the house, as it will have to be demolished at this rate. So they might as well try to safely relocate the hive than just killing them all, considering bees in the Americas - all of them - have lost half their population in the last 35 years. I think their pollination duties are more important than a measly house. You also clearly know nothing about store-bought honey, much of which is sourced from abroad, bypassing a lot of inspection, and, if you’re lucky, does not have a mixture of corn syrup or other contaminants (look up honey recalls). *And, considering many store brands of honey are not local and instead blends, if one source is contaminated, all of it is.

Brian- These are obviously honeybees. The woman should have called a beekeeper when she first noticed the problem. Africanized bees are no different from any other. The honey you buy in the store IS NOT inspected and lisenced, much of it is imported “honey” of dubious quality. Honey from feral bees is much desired as it doesn’t contain the pesticides commercial beekeepers use in their hives. Paint chips cannot get into honeycomb.

Gob’s not on board.

I thought we had predator drones to address these situations.

Where’s the HOLYSHIT button?

I guess Riff can just tell from a video that these are honey bees. Newsflash, africanized bees can make honey too putz. Plus if your kid was getting stung you might have a different outlook.  Uhh Joyce, would like your with or without paint chips? Or is that just okay for the homeless and destitute. The honey you buy at the store is from a place that has been inspected and licensed.  Jeezy peezy, heaven forfend anyone have a little sympathy for the poor woman and her kids. I think they kind of just lost their home.

That is fuckin’ crazy!!!

I hope they gave the honey to a local food bank or something.

Lifetime supply of honey.

Just move away! The honey bees are facing extinction and are more important than the house!
