She needed to move the hive to accommodate some work happening to the house and she says that the bees "came after her". From her telling they were defensive even before she moved the hive to a different location in the yard. Perhaps highly defensive, perhaps grumpy from being mucked about? Who is up for finding out? Near Fruitvale and East 27th.
