Up to 100,000 bees found at studio

Large beehive found at photography business

LEWINSTON, Idaho – A photography studio in Idaho is creating quite the buzz, but it's not for business. The studio is being taken over by thousands of bees.

The owner of the business, MIke Ridinger, said he knew something was wrong when he noticed something clear and sticky dripping from the ceiling. 

Ridinger called a pest control company and when they arrived they found an 8-foot long, 4-foot wide beehive. 

Bee keepers estimate about 60,000 to 100,000 bees live in the hive. 

The sweetest part of the whole deal is those removing the hive discovered 10-15 gallons of honey.
