A hundred years ago people did not live in such a litigious society. This kind of backlash is what I (silently) figured would happen in urban areas when such laws were changed - more beekeepers (novice or otherwise), more swarms, more complaints. Swarms are spectacular, but not usually dangerous. Just wait until some manage to set up in a few nooks and crannies so that the bees have homes to defend. Once a few kids get stung multiple times, I predict a movement to repeal the legalization of beekeeping in places. like NYC. Not saying it is right or wrong, just thinking this through to what is, sadly, the probable outcome. I hope I am proven wrong.
