Some Yishun residents could not bee-lieve their eyes when a beehive measuring over one metre wide <\/strong>was discovered on the rooftop of a HDB block.<\/p>\n The humongous structure was found at Block 431D Yishun Avenue 1 after residents began noticing <\/strong>bees in their homes on July 10, reported Shin Min Daily News.<\/p>\n A 63-year-old resident who lives <\/strong>at an opposite block said he was shocked to see the beehive beneath the rooftop solar panels.<\/p>\n “The first bee that flew in landed on my face and I instinctively <\/strong>killed it with my hands,” said the man surnamed Li.<\/p>\n “After that, two or three bees would enter my home every day,” he said.\u00a0<\/p>\n Another resident, who wished to be identified only as Nora, told the Chinese daily that she had <\/strong>also been dealing with the unwelcome visitors since July 10.\u00a0<\/p>\n As more bees gathered along the corridor and continued entering the flat over the days, the 42-year-old said her husband would take extra precautions before leaving home.<\/p>\n The man once donned a motorcycle helmet, draped a towel over himself and armed himself with insecticide to spray the bees in the corridor.<\/p>\n On another occasion, the couple found between 70 and 80 dead bees outside their front door and along the corridor.<\/p>\n “We kept all our windows tightly shut and didn’t dare to hang our laundry outside,” she added.<\/p>\n Following reports from residents, the town council arranged for a pest control company to remove the hive on July 15, according to Shin Min.<\/p>\n Sundowner Bee Rescue founder Clarence Chua told AsiaOne there has been a noticeable increase in bee-related cases.<\/p>\n “These cases usually come from houses, industries and other areas where bees find suitable places to build their hives,” he revealed.\u00a0<\/p>\n Factors such as sheltered spaces, availability of food sources and suitable nesting conditions can <\/strong>contribute to bees forming colonies in HDB blocks and other buildings.<\/p>\n Chua said that while bees are generally harmless when left undisturbed, members of the public should avoid touching or attempting to remove hives on their own.<\/p>\n “It is best to get an expert to humanely relocate the hive, as disturbing a colony could cause bees to become defensive and potentially attack,” he said.<\/p>\n [[nid:739636]]<\/p>\n xingying.koh@asiaone.com<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Some Yishun residents could not bee-lieve their eyes when a beehive measuring over one metre wide was discovered on the rooftop of a HDB block….<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1864,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[2611],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-69545","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-buzz-headlines","wpcat-2611-id"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/69545","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=69545"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/69545\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=69545"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=69545"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=69545"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Growing number of bee cases in residential spaces<\/h2>\n
