The results of which can be severe pain, swelling, redness, and itchiness. However, that's not the worst that can happen. If you or another person or animal is allergic to bees and gets stung, the sting can be fatal.
If you happen to run a business, on top of the above, an active beehive can cause frustration in your customers. And if the beehive isn't removed soon, it can push away your customers and cause your business to lose a lot of revenue.
