Hi All,

Two questions:

1. We've recently had a problem with our homeowner's insurance with Hartford and our bees. They are canceling our policy because of the bees, cracks in our driveway, and a few other less problematic problems (and, no, we've not made any homeowner's claims in 6 years or caused them any hassles). We think they are downsizing their business in ABQ and are using any excuses. However....

Anyone ever hear of this? Our bees are in a far corner of our back yard at least 100 feet from anyone's windows or play areas, in a corner with 6 foot high and higher cinderblock and plant covered chain link fences.

2. We've 4 hives there. We want to move them so we can get another homeowner's policy, but the bees are clumping outside the hives overnight (probably the heat), and we don't want to loose bees by moving them at this time.

We'd appreciate any and all thoughts and suggestions.

Thank you,

Laura and Andy Wright
