In summary, Molina screamed and ran from her home during an interview with reporters due to a bee infestation that had been present for at least two and a half years. Despite being constantly bitten, she was unable to get rid of the bees without professional help. The conversation also includes disbelief at living with a bee infestation for that long and a humorous reference to Winnie the Pooh.

...So we're trying to, like, get rid of most of them, but without professional help we can't. So now we almost … They're biting me!'" Molina screamed, running from the home during an interview with reporters...

You're thinking of the old bees and those without a dental plan.

Sure, you young bastards have an answer for everything. In my day, nothing over a quadraped could even get a dental plan.

Hey... wait a minute... You're older than dirt... how the hell did you trap me into this...? :grumpy:

"Molina said the bees were there for at least two and a half years."

Who would just live with a bee infestation for that long?

Im so glad i didnt live there. Being allergic to bee stings, that would have been a killer, literally.

Hmm, I can't help but think that if I opened the kitchen cabinet to grab a plate and there was a bee hive in there, I would be at least tempted to call an extermination crew within the first year or so. :confused:

1. What led to the bees being in the kitchen in the first place?

The bees were most likely attracted to the kitchen due to the presence of food and water sources. Bees are also known to seek shelter in areas with small openings, such as cracks or holes, which could have allowed them to enter the kitchen.

2. Why did it take so many bees to be removed?

The number of bees present in the kitchen is dependent on the size of the colony and how long they have been present. Bees reproduce quickly, so what may have started as a small number of bees could have grown into a colony of millions over time.

3. How were the bees removed without harming them?

A professional beekeeper or pest control specialist would have likely used methods such as bee vacuums or smoke to safely remove the bees from the kitchen. These methods allow the bees to be relocated without causing harm to them.

4. Could this happen in my home?

While it is not common for bees to enter homes, it is possible if there are openings or attractants present. It is important to regularly inspect and seal any potential entry points in your home to prevent bees or other pests from entering.

5. What can be done to prevent bees from entering homes in the future?

To prevent bees from entering your home, it is important to seal any cracks or openings and remove potential food or water sources. If you notice any bee activity, it is best to contact a professional to safely and humanely remove them from your property.
