The right thing is not to kill them: Combes nonprofit relocating bee hives following recent rains
· KRGV (NBC 5)
Recent rains in the Rio Grande Valley have created favorable conditions for honeybees, leading to increased swarming. A Brownsville resident, Tony Estrada, discovered a large hive on his roof and opted for relocation instead of extermination. He contacted the American Honey Bee Protection Agency in Combes, founded by Walter Schumacher, who emphasizes the importance of protecting bees. Schumacher noted that the rain fosters more flowers and nectar, enabling bee colonies to thrive. Estrada's hive was successfully relocated, and he expressed relief knowing the bees would have a new home. Homeowners are advised to be cautious during yard work to avoid aggressive bee encounters.
