In a residential home in Xuzhou, Jiangsu Province, a giant beehive nearly one meter long and half a meter wide was hidden in the kitchen ceiling. After the firefighters cleaned it, they filled three large buckets and one bag. The scene was very shocking.The incident occurred in a community in Jiawang District, Xuzhou. Residents found that bees were often flying in and out of the kitchen, and the number was increasing. They were worried about their safety and called the police for help. When the firefighters arrived, they saw a small hole above the kitchen window. Bees were constantly circling, and they judged that there was a high probability of a hive inside.

After putting on protective equipment, the firefighters removed the aluminum gusset plate on the kitchen ceiling. What they saw was surprising.The inner space of the suspended ceiling has been completely occupied by bees. The hive is huge in scale, with a length of nearly one meter and a width of about half a meter. It has formed a complete kingdom of bees.

Firefighters first sprayed the hive with chemicals, and then used tools to peel and dismantle the hive bit by bit. The entire cleaning process lasted for a long time, and the finally dismantled hive was so large that three large buckets and a bag could be fully contained.

According to residents, this house has been vacant for two or three years and they seldom come here. Before, they only saw bees occasionally and didn't take it to heart. It was not until the number of bee colonies increased significantly recently that I realized the seriousness of the problem. I did not expect that the bee colony had already built such a large nest in the ceiling.

In fact, Xuzhou is not the only one where bees are attracted to build nests because the house has been idle for a long time and the doors, windows or holes are not sealed properly.

Just like in Suqian, Jiangsu, when a resident was installing a water heater, he accidentally discovered a giant honeycomb in the ceiling of his kitchen. The scene was shocking.

It is understood that this family has not installed a water heater for four or five years. The original water heater exhaust hole in the kitchen has been left unsealed. Bees got in through this hole and made a home and nest in the suspended ceiling.

The fire department reminds that doors, windows and holes in houses that have been unoccupied for a long time can easily become nesting sites for bees. You should pay more attention to whether there are frequent bee activities in your home, close doors and windows when going out, and seal holes in walls in time.
