Bees infest home, beekeepers tell owner they can't help

The first thing Renee Huskey noticed was the sound of buzzing.

“One day in April I looked out my window and the sky was just bees,” she said Friday.

She snapped pictures of thousands of bees swarming around the wall outside her bedroom.

She said she could actually hear them through the wall. Her husband is deadly allergic to bee stings.

"I'm afraid one night (they will) get in while we're asleep and within a matter of 30 minutes after a sting he could die," she said.

She called several beekeepers only to be told they could not move the bees because they are endangered. So she contacted Eyewitness News to see if we could help.

On Friday afternoon, she had a beekeeper look at her home and he said he would be back Monday.

She is just hoping someone will be able to take the bees away so she can stop worrying about her family, especially her husband.

"If I can find them a new home and send them to a bee farm and they can make honey for everybody and out of my wall, that would be great," Huskey said.
