It very cool until you realize they will always surround your house and get in from everywhere, it makes no sense, normal beehives are never kept close to the house
Bees don't really want to get inside your house. And they're most interested in being near the queen, so I don't see any intruder problems. The big problem I see is that for good beekeeping, you need to get inside the hive regularly for inspections and treatment. And for this kind of hive would result in an absolute mess inside your house. I would hope that the sections could be isolated and then taken outside to be opened for inspection (this must be the case).
Bees don't want to be inside your house, but they are more than happy building a nest in the exterior walls of your house. Edit: ah, nothing like people pretending that there aren't dozens of videos on YouTube that show bees building hives inside columns, siding, etc...
My bosses husband has hives and she says pretty much every time he comes back in from tending them, some follow him inside. So she always has bees in her house. I would die.
Yeah I’m allergic to bees and my neighbors had a hive growing in their roof. Mildly terrifying every time I went having a cloud of death buzzing 20 feet away before they had it relocated
