Honey bees are the cupids of plant world. Their role in pollination is well known, as is the climate crisis associated with their fast dwindling numbers. As urbanisation limits the habitats of bees, they are finding spots under window ledges, AC units, and porticos.
The instinctive response when one finds a bee hive hanging from the balcony or the AC unit, or even a tree closer home is to get someone to light a fire to kill the insects and harvest the honey.
