Resident dons motorcycle helmet to face 1m beehive on Yishun HDB rooftop

A massive beehive measuring approximately one metre wide was discovered on the rooftop of a Yishun HDB block, prompting at least one resident to take matters — and a motorcycle helmet — into their own hands. Rather than await professional pest control, the helmeted volunteer reportedly approached the swarm directly, in what can only be described as a bold personal risk assessment. The incident, reported by AsiaOne on 17 July 2026, adds another entry to Yishun's long and storied archive of residents improvising solutions to problems that most people would simply walk away from. No injuries were reported, and it remains unclear whether the beehive was successfully dealt with or whether the bees simply won.
