We had to get rid of our hive from our back yard due to neighbour complaints. Many people think a bee sting is going to kill them.

  And for some people [1] it just might. [1] http://www.hmc.psu.edu/healthinfo/b/beesting.htm http://www.hmc.psu.edu/healthinfo/b/beesting.htm

    Yeah, but living within 20 metres of a hive doesn't mean anything about risk of getting stung. Bees are quite happy to fly miles to get their nectar. Most of the bees from our hive visibly flew straight up and away from our area. Since getting rid of the hive, our garden is still full of bees.

      I didn't meant to imply their fear was justified. ;)
