This roof top was the site of a bee removal in Pomona CA. With a nice view of the snowcapped San Gabriel Mountains in the distance and just a few bees hovering around it looked pretty normal. Just beneath the roof however there was a huge beehive.
This is what was underneath. A beehive that had been building up for more than a year. The bees were not happy about having the roof torn open even though it was a live bee relocation and I used plenty of smoke to try to keep them calm.

There was a tear in my bee suit near the right ankle. The bees got inside my pant legs and shoes and stung me about 25 times.
