I'm curious - why is everyone so against me calling the county? They have translators on staff who could inform the neighbors that they cannot have a beehive in this location. Isn't that the job of code enforcement? Or whatever department this falls under?
Finding a translator on my own would be difficult, I don't know anyone who speaks their language. I don't even know what language it is!

Calling the county to lodge a complaint may have reprocussions on you as the neighbors would probably know who called.
I guess many feel perhaps it is best to solve problems on your own before calling someone who will perhaps make the end result a nasty situation to live with.

I know that recently one of my neighbors who I don't know too well let me know in a nice way that my dog was barking at their dog while they were outside playing ball. The way our houses are situated I didn't hear my dog barking when I saw him back there, so I didn't realize he was making noise. I know I really appreciated him telling me and letting me fix the situation (we blocked off that part of the yard so he couldn't stand at the fence and ensured they have our phone number so they could call if that didn't work) before calling animal control with a complaint.
