We too have honey bees in a hole of an old tree out back. But they never seem to bother us. I have a wildlife biologist come out and take a look at them and he said they we the good honey bees...not Africanized. So we will keep our colony, and plan to put another hive nearby, so when they do swarm, they have some where else to go. I am so sorry you had such trouble....hope you both heal up well.
