Saw that in Palo Alto, California. A honeybee swarm ended up hiving in a small tree in a paved city downtown parking lot. Most towns would call an exterminator, but P.A. instead put temporary chain link fence in a 10-foot radius around the tree to protect people and the bees and posted a few “leave be” signs around it (should have said “Leave bee”). Actually a wise move to make with crop-pollinating honey bees becoming more scarce.
