Firefighters were called to a house in central China recently to remove a large bees nest that had been formed under the floorboards, local media reported.

The owner of the property, a man surnamed Zhang, said he noticed large numbers of the flying insects buzzing through his home in Wuhan, capital of Hubei province, over a period of about 10 days, Wuhan Evening News reported on Saturday.

After failing to determine where they were coming from, Zhang gave up and contacted the local fire brigade.

During an initial investigation, firefighters noticed a lot of bee activity near a hole in a disused pipe running through the wall of his home, which they sealed with expanding foam.
