« AZ Home Buyers, Sellers & Realtors®: Prepare for the Home Inspection! | Main | Federal Reserve Leaves Interest Rates Alone » Tuesday, July 01, 2008Arizona Homeowners: Bee-ware of Bee Hives!I found this beehive while doing a home inspection in Phoenix yesterday. If you ever see a beehive like this, stay away from it and call a professional to have it removed.

I'd rather we try to relocate these things than kill them. Posted by: arizona auto insurance | Jul 1, 2008 5:57:48 PM I saw a show on the Discovery channel about how there are no bees in certain parts of China because they've all been killed by pesticides sprayed by the government. The farmers have to pollinate the pear trees themselves. They showed how people perform the entire tedious process by hand... I bet they'd really love to have this bee hive! Posted by: Shannon Hubbard | Jul 2, 2008 10:33:24 AM I think that bees and wasps are a real threat. Not saying that they can kill a healthy adult, but a kid or an alergic is endagered. Nevertheless a hive should be relocated if possible. Bees are an important part of our enviroment. As a Toronto real estate agent luckily I don't have to deal with these kinds of problems. Hope you don't have to fight bees again. Posted by: Toronto real estate agent | Jul 6, 2008 6:24:42 AM Ooh, that hive looks malicious! I never really thought about the whole environmental issue of killing off the bees and having to deal with the consequences before. It really does make sense. So I figure calling a specialist to carry the hive off is just buying up some karma points! -Ron Posted by: Ron Park | Jul 11, 2008 2:50:33 PM Yikes. I worked in an information booth with a wasp nest. In the morning the yellow jackets would sleepily filter into my work area where I would scoop them back outside with a cup. I hope they don't have kids around. PowderLover Posted by: Steamboat | Jul 16, 2008 8:33:02 PM That is the largest bee hive I have ever seen. I would let someone come get it with out a problem. I would not want to have to worry about that for anything. In Georgia we grow them a lot smaller than that. homebuyerfirst http://first-time-home-buyer-s.com Posted by: homebuyerfirst | Jul 18, 2008 3:39:53 PM That one is on the outside. If there is a hole in the wall, the whole nest can be inside the wall and cause a lot of damage. Posted by: Miami Real Estate Attorney | Jul 24, 2008 8:27:18 PM I enjoy following your blog! The Bend Oregon real estate market continues to be slow. It looks like a good time to buy in your market. Posted by: Jim Johnson CRS | Jul 28, 2008 9:21:47 PM Hi,
