Fox5s Vince Sapienza uncovered new infomation on the business in question and the department of agricultures response. John, christine. I spoke with the owner of toms bee hives and asked point blank if he had a city or business license. He said no. Claiming toms bee hives is not a business. A response that the department of agriculture disagrees with. Concerned about this because the fact that the company was not licensed with us, but doesnt have to be licensed with us. Its a loophole. A normally black and yellow issue. Is now gray. Businesses who remove bee hives for hire. Are not required by the city or department of agriculture to have a pesticides license. Due to the fact they are not exterminating the bees. They didnt have a license with us, but we encourage individuals to hire li control companies or bee keepers that are licensed to do pesticide applications and removal of bees. But the key word there is not licenses. But business. A title toms bee hives refuses to own. Last week a worker of theirs was sent to the hospital after being stung hundreds of times.
