Codes Compliance 6 assigned this issue to Rob G

I live right by this tree and the bees do not cause any problems. Please do not remove the bees.

I totally agree with saving honey bees, for sure. But I would love to see them relocated if they don't move along themselves. How long have they been there? Maybe they are fine if you haven't had any issues, but I would hate for them to get agitated and go after anyone. Quick read online suggests that bees that build external hives like that may be Africanized/hybrid. It makes me nervous to see such a big swarm so out in the open in a tightly populated area. I think it also means the tree is in bad shape there.

The issue that you reported previously has been addressed by the City, and this open work order is now closed. Please feel free to submit future requests to us via SeeClickFix St. Pete, and thanks again!
