Millions Of Bees Invade Georgia Home

Up to 10 million bees have invaded a Georgia home, according to WRDW-TV in Augusta.

The swarm of insects moved into the walls and attic of the house in Martinez in Columbia County, according to homeowner Theresa Manning.

When she noticed bees crawling into an open space into her attic and heard scratching behind the walls she called for help.

Bee removal expert Jason Rehr expected to find a hive with several hundred bees. When he climbed into the attic he was stunned. Honey was dripping from the ceiling and down the walls. Millions of bees had turned the Manning house into their hive.

"This is the mamma-jamma here, this is the biggest one I've ever seen," said bee wrangler Rehr.

He plans to move all of the bees to hives several miles from the Manning house.
