Fear For The Safety Of The Owner And The Bees

Glover also needed to act fast. Besides the disturbing noise, the bees could become a sting hazard, which is unfortunate for the homeowner if he is allergic to bees. Also, the more overcrowded the walls become, the more danger it poses to the bees.

Under normal circumstances, bees would start to swarm once the hive becomes overcrowded. Swarms aren’t necessarily dangerous; instead, they’re a way of splitting a colony that has grown too large for one hive. Glover’s main concern was whether the bees would know they needed to swarm, seeing as they were spread across such a large house.
