I’m assuming this is a less than ideal course of action if you’ve got close by neighbors right? Those bees just being able to fan out over the immediate area is best to accommodate in a more spaced out kinda neighborhood?

If the urban area is too densely populated there may not be enough blooming plants to support a colony. TBH close neighbors wouldn’t really be affected, or even notice, unless they are hyper-aware of bees due to an allergy or phobia. Our neighbor kept bees right beside our apartment complex and no one noticed at all
These wall units look really slick, but the hive entrance needs to be accessable from the outside, and the inside of hive itself needs to be accessable from time to time, even if the beekeeper doesn’t plan on harvesting honey. I only have a little knowledge of beekeeping, but I do know they don’t just run themselves. Keeping a hive healthy requires regular attention and work. Kind of like houseplants, actually

Nah. Build a bee army!

Yes, what Samuel said - but bees don’t really get in the way all that much, it’s not like you would notice the neighbour has them. They scout & only if they find flowers they send a certain number of bees (directly) there.
A beehive can cover an area in 2 or 3 km radius if needed. They must do it efficiently.

As long as you don’t mind the droning of the bees

I knew someone this happened to. Several months after moving into their new house they started working on a neglected secondary bathroom on the 2nd floor. They didn't go back there too frequently because it wasn't a priority, but it was a really cool space connected to their bedroom via a small dressing room/closet.
One day she noticed a low, humming drone and checked the wall of that closet. She claimed that the whole wall was warm to the touch and vibrating. That was not an easy or cheap job, but we got to make jokes about bees for a couple of months.

Arguably better than:

I’ve heard that if this sort of thing happens to you, you can call local beekeepers who can help remove them for a low rate, or sometimes even for free. They’re usually happy just to get more bees.
