1 Million Bees Removed From South Austin Church

About 1 million bees have been removed from a church in South Austin.

The bees have lived inside the walls of Salem Lutheran Church on FM 812 just south of Austin Bergstrom International Airport for the past 25 years, reports KVUE. Church officials said they were peaceful for many years, but recently started becoming more aggressive.

So the church called in Walter Schumacher of Central Texas Bee Rescue, aka. the Bee Czar.

Schumacher says he removed about 1 million bees from the church.

What do you do with 1 million bees? “We’ll take those babies to our little ranch in southeast Travis County and we’ll feed them basically a bee tea,” Schumacher told the station. “It’ll include herbs and flowers.”
