Residents urge humane bee relocation, neighborhood cleanup during Long Beach meeting
Summary
Multiple public commenters at a Long Beach meeting urged humane removal of bee hives, called for neighborhood cleanup and raised concerns about speeding and safety; commenters asked city staff to follow up.
Several residents used the public-comment period to raise neighborhood concerns, including requests for humane bee relocation rather than insecticide and appeals for help with property cleanup and safety.
One commenter said bees are in crisis in North America and urged the city to “find a bee relocator rather than spraying the hive with insecticide.” Another speaker described problems at 1635 West Pacific Coast Highway (West PCH), asking for city assistance with cleanup and noting nearby substance-use issues affecting the area. Additional commenters raised concerns about rising crime, dangerous speeding and insufficient visibility and infrastructure in their neighborhood and encouraged engagement with city staff.
Comments were made during the meeting’s public-comment period; the transcript did not record formal responses from council members or staff, nor did it identify specific follow-up commitments, responsible departments or timelines. Locations and specific remediation requests were mentioned by speakers but the transcript did not provide details such as permit requests, code-enforcement case numbers, or scheduled inspections.
