30,000 "Squatters" Convert Vacant Foreclosure Into Giant Beehive
- Some unwanted guests are taking over the neighborhood in Northeast Cape Coral. A bee expert says there are about 30,000 bees calling one hive their home. [...] About a month ago, the bees took over a foreclosed home. When neighbors contacted the city of Cape Coral about the squatters, they found out their hands are tied. City officials say there is no program to use taxpayer money to remove the hive. So, it is left up to the bank that now owns the home to take care of it. We asked bee expert Keith Councell to take a look at the hive. He says he has seen a lot of similar hives on abandoned homes.
