A huge beehive housing more than 50,000 bees was hanging near a Florida elementary school.
"This is just a fraction of this giant beehive that I was able to get up close and personal with to show you the scale of it," said beekeeper Jason Deeringer.
Deeringer said the hive is estimated to weigh about 100 pounds and measures at about 3 feet wide. He said removing it will be a huge task.
"We discovered it earlier this year and we had it removed twice, and it came back with a vengeance," said homeowner Jason Frazier.
Deeringer removes beehives for a living, and said the hive is impressive.
"When you have a colony of honeybees on your property, it's a liability. They may be docile bees, but they could have a bad day and sting somebody," said Deeringer.
The bees are carefully being rescued because the bees help pollinate 20 percent of our food.
Deeringer used a high-tech vacuum to remove the bees.
"It's hard to get every bee.
About 90 percent of the tens of thousands of bees will be relocated away from homes and schools and requeened to continue making honey.
"Whenever you can do something and put it back into an environment, produce honey and use it for pollination, that's great," said Deeringer.
In addition to about 90 percent of the bees being moved, the wax will be recycled and the honey will be harvested.
