Sigh. I guess I'd better get on the phone to the county.
I kept bees in my backyard, in a neighborhood in a medium sized city for years, and no one except me ever got stung. My neighbors enjoyed the bee cycles and the jars of honey. Those don't look like bee boxes to me, but maybe they've changed the way they look.
In any case, involving law enforcement or code enforcement before you talk with your neighbors is a bad idea, not only for them, but also for you. Remember the story of the little boy who cried "Wolf." froggyintexas
