During a house renovation, a Wichita homeowner discovered the residence had a swarm of bees under it.

The owner called professional beekeeper Wes Wolken to remove the large hive of around 50,000 bees from under the Kansas home, The Associated Press reported. Removing the bees during most of Sunday, Wolken found a nearly 18-foot-long network of honeycomb that held almost 50 pounds of honey, according to KAKE-TV

The beekeeper took the bees from their old home with a special vacuum that sucked the bees into a canister. The estimated 50,000 insects will stay at an arboretum until they are healthy enough to find a new home in a permanent location.

In other bee news, a 4-pound swarm was relocated from a tree in New York City's Upper West Side on Monday to a hive on the rooftop of the Waldorf-Astoria hotel, the New York Post reported.

Anthony Planakis of the New York Police Department, who is also known as "Tony Bees," rounded up the bees in about five minutes, collecting the queen and her swarm into a cardboard box.

"The most important thing is the queen. If you lose the queen you lose the hive," a source told the New York Post.

The bees were clustered on a branch about 20 feet up.

"There were a lot of civilians walking around," Andrew Cote of the NYC Bee Keepers Association, said of the scene, as quoted by the New York Post.

Planakis seems to stay busy with his bee duties--"Tony Bees" also gathered around 18,000 bees by vacuum at a bus stop last week.
