Honey bees are valuable and fascinating insects, but when they take up residence in locations where people are uncomfortable with their presence, problems are not uncommon. Usually, these unwelcome colonies are in houses or other structures, but the presence of a bee tree near a walkway or entrance - or anywhere that children play or people spend time outdoors - can be annoying and potentially dangerous. This is especially true if the colony entrance is near the ground. When such situations occur, beekeepers are often asked to assist in re-locating the colony. They are generally paid for their services, though some will conduct removals in order to save the bees, or to help out a neighbor.
