Illinois Family Shocked After Thousands Of Bees Swarmed Around Their Home
I have a couple of friends who have always been fascinated with insects. They know all about bugs. I guess it's some sort of hobby for them. Personally, I've never been a big fan of those little creepy crawlies. I'm not going to lie, they scare me a little bit. It's a nightmare of mine to be attacked by a swarm of bees, and I get stung over and over again. It freaks me out to even just think about it. If this incident happened to me, I don't know what I would've done.

According to Fox 32 Chicago...
Thousands of bees swarmed in a front yard on Chicago's South Side, causing panic among neighbors.
A family in Chicago was getting ready to host a party in their backyard for their family and friends. They ran to the store to grab all the things that were needed. A little while after they left, a swarm of thousands of bees started buzzing around the front of their home. Their son immediately called them about the problem. They thought it was a joke at first. Everyone in the neighborhood was frightened by swarms of bees.

The family called in an expert to help remove the bees. Though it seems like a very dangerous situation, it was actually the complete opposite. The bees were in the process of finding a new home. While in that stage, they are very calm and safe. The beekeeper was able to collect all of the bees and move them to a safer location to find a new home.
