I need some advice regarding bees. A colony suddenly appeared this morning at my father-in-laws house and it has been attracting too much attention in their neighborhood. The place is in Tondo and the streets are not that wide so you would not imagine everyone passing by not noticing it. I don't want to drive them away but I suggested for them to be relocated. My father-in-law said to let them stay there for the meantime but is aware that they should be moved once the hive grows. The breed looks like the common honeybee similar to the pictures above. As of now the size of the colony is about the size of a medium papaya. I don't know how to post videos or pictures in this site. My concern is safety also. There's a baby in the house. I know that as long as you don't disturbe them they would leave you alone but if some unscruplous passerby would suddenly shake up the colony (you can throw a stone at it easily) it might go after anyone in the house and not the attacker. Greatly appreciate for any more suggestions. Hello! I need some advice regarding bees.

The last time I saw a beehive was when I was in high school which was long ago. I distinctly remember how delicious the honey was...parang tamarind. Anyway, bad thing I didn't think of getting the beeswax...I was young and naive...what can I say? This is amazing. The last time I saw a beehive was when I was in high school which was long ago.
