Honey bees, both feral (wild) and colonised, are important beneficial insects, not normally considered as pests.
They live together in the wild in nests, or as colonies in hives kept by beekeepers. In either case, they will only sting people if strongly provoked. Local beekeepers are usually willing to assist with the removal of problem swarms.
