When my next door associate moved in last year, I was worried that we’d all be in for more conflict. The associate who lived there before him was a menace to our community. She had 2 large dogs that bit numerous children on the block, but whenever the police arrived the dogs would be hidden or taken to a weird location. But that’s not even the worst part. At 1 point she erected a watchtower in her yard after being served a grass overgrowth notice from the homeowner’s association. She did most of it overnight and the cops were called the next afternoon. The last I saw of that lunatic was him getting dragged across her front grass by the police. The tower was dismantled and eventually the cabin was put up for sale, but the owner thankfully never returned. To our luck, the current associate is a kind and congenial lady Instead of defying the community and the HOA, our current associate has followed all of the rules and delights us with her homemade honey. At first the HOA wasn’t sure whether or not to allow our current associate to have her honey bee hives in her backyard, but being her nextdoor neighbor, I recommended on her behalf. I told the HOA that I would take responsibility for the bees if they ever got out of her yard and made hives in other venues. Now I have a beekeeping associate who also rescues bee hives from other neighbors’ yards. Best of all, her honey is now for sale on her website.
