Honey leaking from ceiling leads to discovery of 80,000 bees inside Ontario home

Homeowner Loretta Yates said she knew she had a "sweet mess" on her hands at her home in the small southern Ontario community of Varney when a crack in the ceiling started oozing honey last week.

Loretta and her husband Kevin soon discovered the 1 1/2-storey house they live in with their 22-month-old son had a few unexpected guests: 80,000 bees nesting in two colonies in the first-floor ceiling.

He said it wasn't long after that honey began to slowly drip from newly emerged cracks in the living room and kitchen ceilings, while a cascade of the sweet liquid even blew a lightbulb after filling it half-full of honey.

Better check your homeowner's policy.

I say they take off now and nuke the entire site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

I think I would have noticed all the bees around the house and found out why.
