Back in 2012, Larry looked out his window and noticed hundreds of honeybees flying closely around his Los Angeles home. After researching what to do online, he contacted a professional named Mike "The Bee Guy" to come and help. Upon further inspection, Larry was shocked to find out that a beehive was actually living inside of his own walls — 50,000 of them to be exact! Can you imagine?!
As terrifying as this probably was, Larry didn't want to kill or harm the bees. In a five-hour process documented in the time lapse video below, watch the fascinating footage of 50,000 bees being removed and transferred. No bees were killed or hurt in the process — they were simply removed and relocated to a new hive.
Bees are absolutely critical to our planet. According to the The Guardian, “Bees pollinate a third of everything we eat and play a vital role in sustaining the planet’s ecosystems. Some 84% of the crops grown for human consumption — around 400 different types of plants — need bees and other insects to pollinate them to increase their yields and quality.”
Kudos to Larry and Mike for saving these precious creatures. Please SHARE this incredible video with your friends on Facebook!
