A Cambridge couple has had 50 000 unwelcome house guests living at their home for far too long. A colony of honeybees settled into one of their living room walls about 3 years ago, after an extensive search the home-owners found a bee keeper to safely remove the insects.

Lousie Dawe wanted to find a way to remove the species while protecting them but no bee keeper would take on the task at the time.  But today David Schuit is on hand to remove and re-colonize the hive. “We’re trying to save the hive, save the queen and find it a new home out of this home.”

Schuit says that’s because pesticides aren’t allowed in the city he blames neonicotinoids for the dwindling population and wants them banned, “we save bees we’re saving humanity, because if there’s no bees, no pollinators, no food for humanity.”
