What
to do about bees nests
The
Association is not responsible for bees, inside or outside of the unit.
However, the contractor who handles spraying the foundations for
carpenter ants will also handle the bees nests if called directly. If
outside of the unit, he will treat them at no charge to the Association.
If inside the unit, he will charge the unit owner.
If
you wish to report a bees nest, please call the contractor directly. If
you contact the board, they will direct you to call the contractor.

Bees
and Wasps
There
are 20,000 species of bee, including social, solitary, and parasitic.
Bee attacks generally occur when people stumble into a nest or otherwise
provoke bees.
There are also about 20,000 species of wasp, including hornets and
yellow jackets. Unprovoked wasp attacks are very rare. Wasps usually
sting to subdue prey or in self-defense. People may be stung if wasps
have been attracted to their food, or they have inadvertently disturbed
a nest. Unlike bees, wasps can sting repeatedly, however.
