3 Million Bees Removed From Couple's Apartment Kitchen

<snip>

MIAMI BEACH, Fla. -- A south Florida couple was happy to not be sharing their home with millions of bees. Jesus Molina said he and his girlfriend were ready to buzz off after a swarm of bees invaded the kitchen wall of their Miami Beach apartment.

Molina said the bees were there for at least two and a half years. The couple finally had enough and called in the professionals.

"So we're trying to, like, get rid of most of them, but without professional help we can't. So now we almost � They're biting me!'" Molina screamed, running from the home during an interview with reporters.

Beekeepers removed more than 3 million bees from the apartment. They also extracted nearly 60 pounds of honey.

Beekeepers said the insects got in through a small hole and built a home in the kitchen cabinet.

4. I know! I wonder what set them off after 2-1/2 years?

Were they leaving dirty dishes in the sink? Drinking directly out of the milk carton?

5. I'll bet they trained the bees to clean up.

It was hell buying three million little aprons. That expense was what finally drove those people to get rid of the bees. :P
