Bee colony found in University of Houston engineering building

Nov. 15, 2007
100,000 bees will be saved and moved to less populated part of campus.

Wednesday was eviction day for tens of thousands of bees that took up residence behind a 40-foot high section of exterior wall at the University of Houston's engineering building. But bee removal expert Mike Knuckey says the huge colony — perhaps 100,000 bees or more — won't be moving off-campus because they are vital to flora on the 550-acre urban university's grounds. By Friday or so, Knuckey expects the colony to be living in a "regular bee-hive box" in a less-populated part of the campus.
