    She said her homeowner’s insurance won’t cover anything pest-related because they deem it preventable.

    What’s the point of insurance if whenever you need to use it, they deny you it. Might as well take your monthly insurance payment and put it into a bank account to use if needed.

      In the summer, those stacks of wooden boxes beekeepers use can contain around 60k bees. It’s a quite normal amount of bees in a bee hive. When it gets colder and the season ends it goes down to maybe 20k bees. At least that’s what a bee keeper told me once. We were looking at returning bees who were not let in by the guard bees because they were not needed anymore.
