Honey wall tips man off to 60,000 bees

CONCORD, N.C., June 16 (UPI) -- A North Carolina man says he found out he was sharing his home with about 60,000 bees after he noticed honey oozing out a wall.

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.

I wondered where all the bees from around here went?

thang god it was honey bees,,he was lucky they were some cases of thoes killer bees geting in peoples houses,,,seems like a few pets got stung befor they found them

How many people usually taste stuff that oozes out of thier walls?

All my friends know the trouble I had with wasps few weeks ago
I got bitten on my proverbial

I got to learn to read

I just read "Man finds 60,000 beers in his house"

I wondered why the guy was complaining!

I'll shut up now!

if he did not know they were there till he found the honey

it sounds like he threw away a free food source

wonder how much honey they will buy next year

just a thought

but hey what do i know
