100,000 Bees Removed From Cypress Family's Tree
KHOU ^ | August 2, 2013 | Sherry Williams

A bee removal expert took care of the thousands of bees that had been busy building a huge hive in a Cypress woman’s front yard.

One beekeeper told Cheryl Best that 100,000 bees were living in the hive.

That all changed Friday with the help of bee expert Anthony Samilo.

“We call this a tree hugger, bees that build on the sides of trees,” he said. “The bees are going to get plenty aggressive when I get up there, and they are probably going to attack anybody on the ground.”

When the bees started to swarm, curious neighbors who were watching soon went inside, and left Samilo to handle the removal. Armed with a shop vac and perched on a cherry picker high in the air, Samilo patiently vaccumed all the bees. He seemed to ignore the pain from multiple stings.

Our Son-in-Law had a bee hive removed from a tree in his yard just last evening. They called a bee remover and it was interesting to watch the process. We did not want the bees destroyed and they were not.
