Beekeepers have quite the task ahead of them as they remove an estimated 1 million honey bees that have taken up residence at a New York home. The Times Herald-Record of Middletown reports two beekeepers were at work yesterday removing siding on the outside of the Wallkill house to get to them. The Orange County family living there (one member of which is allergic to bees) discovered the insects while they were clearing trees. They were preparing to replace the siding, but couldn't get to it because of the bees. It will take at least a week to get the bees out of there. (More strange stuff stories.)
