I Have Heard,

of unwanted house guests,


but never 800,000 of them!  Spanish social media has been buzzing with the news of a couple in Pinos Puente, Granada, who recently asked a local beekeeper to investigate the increasingly loud buzz sound coming from behind their bedroom wall, they expected to find a few bees there, but they were amazed when beekeeper Sergio Guerrero, who had helped remove bee colonies from their properties before, left him speechless, a hive of over 80,000 bees and honeycombs over a meter long, 

Guerrero told La Vanguardia,  “I can not understand how they have been living with that number of bees for so long.” the beekeeper said that a queen can lay up to 1,400 eggs per day, but he estimates that a hive this large must have taken the bees at least two years to build, although he has helped remove over half a million bees from people’s properties this year alone, he admits that he has never seen anything quite like this before, photograph by La Vanguardia, so if you start to hear a buzzing in your head, see if it coming from the walls!
