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

A beehive reaching approximately one metre in height was discovered on the roof of a house in Yishun, prompting residents to don protective gear and take matters into their own hands. The scale of the hive — an unusual find even by Yishun standards — drew attention online after images and accounts of the DIY extermination effort circulated.

Residents reportedly armoured up in full protective clothing before attempting to deal with the colony themselves, rather than waiting for professional pest control. The incident adds another entry to Yishun's growing catalogue of encounters with the natural world, following previous reports of wildlife and pest-related disruptions in the estate.
