Woman Finds 40,000 Bees In Her House!
The CBC’s Carolyn Stokes originally believed she had a wasp nest in her house, instead she made a big discovery on the top floor of her house — an entire colony of precious honey bees!

After posting the above video Carolyn was informed they were bees and said:
Thank goodness I tweeted that video! Now I know they’re gentle honey bees, not vicious wasps!! Thanks to everyone who corrected me. The bees will be safely removed by the experts @adelaideshoney. It’ll be a bit of a job, but worth the effort to save the precious pollinators.

In da Gould’s @adelaideshoney this morn to free the bees! They’re doing very well. They’ll stay here for 2 weeks while I repair my house, then they’ll come back to live in my yard. Paul figures they adopted me first so becoming a beekeeper was “meant to bee”! pic.twitter.com/DvSjsssAUr
