Here in UK, we have a neighbor two plots up, who has a hive. You would never know they were there.
They are far too busy doing their thing, than bothering about us humans.
The plus side is, we have become so much more pollinator friendly with our planting, and found you really do not need gallons of pesticides to control the bad bugs.
Just a little effort and understanding of which bug eats which bug, and what non-toxic substance does the same job, and in many cases a better job, than the chemicals.
I know in Florida there is sometimes no other alternative with some of the pests, but I always thought the 'kill everything,' approach, really prevalent in TV, was a bit like using a sledgehammer to break walnuts.
