"  For many people, one bee is scary enough. What if you had to deal with 80,000? Loretta and Kevin Yates were faced with that problem when thousands of bees turned their home into a honey factory. According to The Canadian Press, 80,000 bees invaded the walls of a 1.5-story home in Varney, Ontario, last week. Loretta Yates, who resides there with her husband and nearly 2-year-old son, knew something wasn&amp;#039;t right when honey started leaking from her kitchen ceiling. It wasn&amp;#039;t just a little bit of honey either. &amp;quot;Every hour honey would seep down to the ground floor,&amp;quot; Kevin Yates, Loretta&amp;#039;s husband, stated. The living room and kitchen ceilings were both leaking, and honey even broke a light bulb after it filled halfway with the sticky, sweet liquid. More From Delish: Find the Best Local Honey Yates said he had noticed something rather odd about a week before his house became a giant honey-bear. There was a &amp;quot;blanket of bees&amp;quot; swarming outside the kitchen door, and it appeared as though they were trying to get in the house. Yates didn&amp;#039;t know it at the time, but the bees buzzing outside couldn&amp;#039;t get in because the foundation of his home was already filled with the fuzzy insects. So what do you do when your house is infested with bees? Call a beekeeper, of course! After the Yates&amp;#039; insurance company refused to help and a pest control company was skeptical about being able to get rid of the bees, Loretta turned to a professional beekeeper. David Schuit of Saugeen Country Honey took down the living room and kitchen ceilings to scrape the honeycomb loose and remove the bees.

Luckily no one got stung during the time the bees took up residence. Now the Yates can go back to living in a bee-free home.
