Charlene MacEachern says she was surprised when she discovered nearly 100,000 bees in the walls of her home. But she was delighted they were safely relocated to help rebuild a local honey business.

Charlene MacEachern holds a piece of wood with honeycomb still attached. A local apiary was able to safely extract thousands of bees from her Broad Cove house.

MacEachern said no one had lived in her family's farmhouse for years. The old property sits on the backside of Gillis Mountain in Broad Cove. "Some of the comb was quite dark, which means it's been there for a while," said deBont. "The bees have been walking over it and then you could see some comb that was very light and was brand new this year so they had been there for a while and they had completely filled the space they were in."

deBont said the couple had Varroa mites in their hives last year. The mites live on the backs of bees and feed off them.deBont said she lost eight hives and more than 100,000 bees to the mites.
