When we lived in TX our back fence neighbor (rural area, we had a 2.5 acre lot, they had a much larger parcel) rented space out to an operation moving truckloads of bees. They set them near our back fence and for over a week my back yard was filled with bees to the point that you could not walk back there without them getting on you. I’m allergic to bees, so it was a pretty awful experience, since I could not use my back yard at all. In addition the darned bees came to MY koi pond and drank it down low enough that I had to add water every couple of days. A very miserable experience, I must say. Of course, I’m sure my neighbor made a nice tidy profit. I should have charged a bee watering fee....
