CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Tara Prince said she discovered beehives on the bedroom ceiling in her north Charlotte condo after Hurricane Florence.
It started after a leak in the ceiling.
Prince said she complained to property management, but they never fixed it. She hired a contractor, who couldn't fix it.
The North Carolina law called the Condominium Act lays out what's considered the common areas or common elements, which usually includes walls, floors and ceilings. Those areas are the responsibility of the property manager.
“They have to have water, yes,” said Melinda Mitchell, with the Mecklenburg County Beekeepers Association. “When they establish a colony, when they choose a site to get established, they have to have a water supply."
Prince said she's slept on the couch too afraid to open the door. Her teenage daughter hasn't even stayed in the condo, because she is allergic to bee stings.
