In all honesty, I'd welcome the attention of the council, I have legitimate reason for doing so. Thanks for your support.

I have considered this. I planned a fence of green barrier mesh to about 15 feet. It's on my radar to do. I have the mesh, it's fine enough that the bees wouldn't fly through it, but wouldn't be difficult to erect. Someone did say to me that once they go up, they are unlikely to come straight...

Whilst trying to stay reasonable, I'd like to know what you surmise might be the whole story? The photo might have been a step too far, but I'm trying to learn what is normal beekeeping and what is not in an attempt to get to the bottom of the problem. Nobody knows who he is or where the photo...
