Giant 1-metre beehive found in Bukit Batok HDB estate, residents raise safety concerns
The beehive was spotted about two storeys above the ground in Bukit Batok.
In Bukit Batok Estate, Singapore, a massive one-metre-long beehive was discovered hanging in a tree, prompting residents to express safety concerns. Upon noticing the hive, a resident recounted spotting a bee about 1.5 centimetres long landing on his clothes, which led him to discover the extensive beehive. Another individual reported observing one or two small bees inside their residence, expressing worry that the hive could pose a threat if disturbed by wind or rain.
The resident noted that this isn't the first instance of a beehive appearing in the area; they claimed to have encountered one 20 years ago when they first moved into the estate. A similar incident occurred a few weeks ago when a 75-year-old resident on the ninth floor of an HDB building witnessed a "blackout" from her window, only to later discover a large swarm of bees and a massive beehive on a tree in front of her home.
The community has reported the situation to the town council through the OneService app, hoping for a resolution to their concerns.
