A mother of two and her boyfriend said they were painting their new home when they heard the noises. Then, a family member was stung by a bee inside the home."Somebody got stung by a bee and that is how we found out we had a bee problem," boyfriend Paul Landi said.
Landi said his girlfriend was upset when they found the swarming bees inside the walls of the home."We don't know if this is a problem that has been ongoing or something new, but the fact that she bought a house that has bees, for her and her girls' sake, she is really, really upset," Landi said.The family called Gotcha Pest Control to inspect and extract the thousands of swarming bees.A real estate broker said the family should have called a pest control expert to check for termites, bees and other insects when the house was purchased.Beekeepers said the bees had likely been in the walls for at least a year.Watch Local 6 News for more on this story.
