Honey wall tips man off to 60,000 bees
Mark Jones said he learned about the bees after tasting a mysterious liquid coming out of a wall in his Concord, N.C., home.
He was surprised to find out the liquid was honey produced by thousands of bees living behind the wall, WYFF-TV in Greenville, S.C., reported.
"I came over here and dipped my finger in it and tasted it. Sure enough, it was honey coming out of the wall," Jones said.
Beekeepers removed most of the insects with a vacuum Sunday after Jones and his wife decided it wasn't right to kill them, the newspaper said.
Keepers said the leftover bees will leave soon because they no longer have a hive there.

bees/honey
Buzzing? i had a bees nest in the thousands in my attic above my bedroom one time and all we heard was a scratching sound. We thought it was mice. The bees actually worked their way through and i had a bedroom full of bees when returning from work one day. Yikes!

Seems possible but I can't figure out how the near constant buzzing from the bees didn't alert him to the hive before he found the oozing honey?? I would imagine 60,000 bees would be quite loud...still if it's true it's nice they didn't kill them, especially with the depleting honey bee supply in America.

60.000 bees!
It is interesting to know how come the bees are in the house. What about the honey? What became of it after the bees were removed? Interesting!!

I used to have a trailer and the wavy edge of the siding provided a wonderful space for bees, I had to spray once a month because yes they do make alot of buzzing noise.
