Workers removing 700,000 bees from home
Topic: Humor 9:35 pm EDT, Jun  9, 2004

] Lake Worth resident Norm Gitzen didn't mind the more than
] half-million bees living in the roof of his house until
] recently. But when the bees started coming into the
] house, stinging him and his nephew, his love of that
] cohabitation changed.
]
] Local beekeepers started removing at least 700,000 bees
] from a tower above his breakfast nook on Tuesday, filling
] four buckets with honey weighing close to 65 pounds.
]
] "This will become a fantastic nuisance ... because they
] will grow and grow," said Palm Beach County Beekeepers
] Association President Ute Hartmann.
]
] The weight of the hives could collapse Gitzen's roof,
] while the honey could attract ants and rodents, Hartmann
] said.
]
] Gitzen said at first the bees were "kind of mesmerizing,"
] and he often sweetened his morning coffee with honey
] dripping from the hives.
