HOUSTON -- More than 100,000 bees have invaded a building at the University of Houston, KPRC Local 2 reported Wednesday.

University officials said the bees have taken up residence between the walls of the Cullen College of Engineering building.

"Mother Nature guided them to that spot and it was an easy place for them to get into," bee expert Mike Knuckey said. "It was placed where they could control the temperature and their environment."

Knuckey began removing the bees at about 8:30 a.m. The extrication was expected to take all day. Knuckey said he has to use smoke to subdue the bees and then remove the bricks one by one to get to the hive.

"I'm kind of allergic to them," Fernando Gomez said. "I know I'm not the only one around this campus. There's a lot of students around this campus, if they get bit, Lord knows what can happen to them. I wouldn't want to get bit by one."

1. See.. the bees didn't disappear..they are just seeking a higher education

Maybe they want to learn how to engineer the hives of the future :)

5. One time, when I was in high school

I was standing around with my friends when all of a sudden, we hear people screaming and running. I thought someone was shooting up the school or something until I saw someone pointing to the sky. A freaking swarm of bees had descended on the school and we all fled into the buildings. That was a strange day.

6. If I got bit by a bee I'm not sure I would notice.

Getting stung, however... :ow:
