At Least 100K Bees Invade Decatur Woman's Home, Again

DECATUR, GA — A Decatur homeowner has another set of unwanted roommates: a massive colony of at least 100,000 bees.

Lisa Ohrmundt is familiar with the buzzing insects, though. When Georgia Bee Removal came to remove the colony from her living room ceiling Wednesday, that was the third time Ohrmundt's had a bee colony removed from her home in the last four years, according to Fox 5 Atlanta.

"Most people go their entire lives without colonies of bees set up camp," Ohrmundt said to Fox 5 Atlanta. "I think we're going to have to burn the house down because this is the third time Bobby has come to remove bees and they just keep coming back to a little bit different spot."

Bobby Chaisson, operations director for Georgia Bee Removal, said a colony of this size was not necessarily normal.

However, the first hive found in Ohrmundt's home was even larger: the first one had about 120,000 bee residents, Fox 5 reported in 2017.

"I thought that was it. I didn't think we'd be out here doing this again," Ohrmundt said. "But I'm not going to lie, I got kind of excited when I knew Bobby was coming. I was like, 'I gotta get home for this.'"
