More Than 40,000 Bees Found Living In Bedroom Of Utah Home [VIDEO]

Tyler Judd and his wife are sleeping in the guest bedroom of their home after discovering a colony of at least 40,000 bees in the walls of their home's master bedroom.

Judd told local Utah news station KSL that he had noticed bees buzzing outside of his home, but he never imagined they would be living in his walls.

He discovered the colony after trying to locate the source of a mysterious buzzing sound he could here while inside his home.

"We were just sitting on our couch, turned off the TV and could hear some buzzing in the walls," Judd said in an interview with KSL.

The Judds called local bee keeper Al Chubak to investigate the situation. According to Chucak, the bees have been in residence at the home much longer than the Judds. He estimated the colony had been living in the house for as many as four years. The Judds moved in five months ago.

The bees were so comfortable in their new home that attempted to expand and remodel, removing the wall's insulation to make room for the growing colony.

"They're actually taking the insulation out and they're putting their honeycomb and their hive in its place," Judd said.

Using a vacuum, Chubak removed the bees and located the queen. Taking the queen away will disable the colony, he said. But he also made sure to take the entire honeycomb network out of the walls as well so that the space would not be re-occupied by another colony.

Chubak said finding a thriving bee colony in the wild is common, though to seen this many bees in residence inside a home was rare. He noted that bee keepers across the country are seeing their colonies die, more than 60 percent of beekeeper colonies died since last fall.

"But the ones inside homes are doing fantastic," he said.

Last month a colony of countless millions of wasps and their 22-foot long nest were found in an abandoned home in an island off the coast of Moro
