You need to be interactive with your bees and you need to properly log all inspections and observations. You do have obligations to neighbors, but most of the neighbor related problems can be stifled by simply educating them on honeybee behavior. I have had several neighbors and all of them have actually ben interest in the bees instead of fearing them. That is a goal I would challenge you achieve. Nothing can be more frustrating than having neighbors that complain all the time.
Some people have intense fear of bees and other insects.
I could not justify having the bees if they brought a family member discomfort. Luckily my family too are beekeeping savvy. I hope you are starting to see that many issues must be weighed before starting a bee yard. I would only want you t attempt the hobby if you have plans to be active in it. Otherwise, the bees and your neighbors both wont like you very much.
