Leave that honeycomb alone

When bees build honeycombs in our garden we leave them alone for their own consumption. Just eating what is available in those honey combs is not enough for us to take care of our total needs. We buy honey regularly.
But that is not what is done by many. The moment they spot a honeycomb they apply fire, drive away the bees and extract honey from it
I hope better sense prevails and that honey is left for the bees to consume.

I do have a biggish garden and flowers such as you will see in this video clip attract bees. I have put this creeper down as it killed a couple of trees but a new creeper is coming up elsewhere
A pleasant surprise awaited me this morning when our curry leaf tree got engulfed by these wonderful flowers.

@allknowing that's a lovely lilac colour. Very pleasing to the eyes. :-)
That's so nice of you to maintain such a big garden. If I may ask, which part of India are you in?

That is how it should be. We watch the whole process and in days the honeycomb falls off half and empty (lol)

@allknowing We are not allowed to keep the honeycomb in the garden, the bees can be a nuisance for the neighbors. The bees are protected, so we call and they move the honeycomb to honeybees farms.

Wow, it's big; you can build "homes for them so they can transfer there and you can harvest more honey from it. I do not like people burning them; the bees will die.

I have said that I would leave that honey for their consumption and buy honey that is produced in bulk where bees are protected.
